Tom lives in a repressive society where technology is prized and elder discrimination and one-child families are the norm. One day, Tom sees his "Oldie" grandfather sneak into a forbidden outside zone. Following, Tom finds a way of life and relatives he never knew existed. Soon, he learns to appreciate nature, hard work, and family, especially his cousins Lizzie and Joshua. Tom doesn’t want to leave, but knows he has a message to bring back.
