Davy David, an orphaned artist, survives by his wits in the dead-end town of Brownvale until a stray dog named George arrives and upends his life just days before Christmas. Forced to leave his hometown, Davy reluctantly teams up with elderly Miss Flint, who hires him and George to escort her on one last adventure to her childhood home. As they travel, something magical occurs Miss Flint grows younger with every mile, turning their journey into a tale of friendship, courage, and unexpected hope.
