Description
Lucas's life has been turned upside down since his older brother died. His mom disappeared without warning, and his dad is struggling to cope. Lucas finds himself alone, except for a group of kids he meets at the aftercare program at school. These kids are an unlikely bunch, but they've formed a tight-knit group that's become like a family to Lucas. There's Cat, Robbie, Anna, and Finn - each with their own secrets and dreams. When they play "Sardines", a game of hide-and-seek where everyone has to find each other, they start to realize that they're not alone in their struggles. As they work together, the group discovers that if they can support each other's wishes, they might just be able to help make each person's dream come true. But for Lucas, it means finding the strength to trust his new friends with his family's secrets.
