A magical-realistic look at a divorce through a child's eyes. Nikolas Orville Remington is a 10 year old boy that is still coping with the changes his new step-father brings; one of them being his mother's unhappiness and regret of having made another 'mistake.' Though Nikolas uses his action figures to escape from his reality. Each time he fantasizes his father as a hero winning back his mother from his seemingly nefarious step-father. Through a series of enlightened moments, Nikolas begins to grow out of his childhood and accept that things can't always be the way you want them to be.
