Twin brothers Chickadee and Makoons have spent their lives side by side, doing everything together since the day they were born. But when the unthinkable happens and the brothers are separated, Chickadee and his family set off on a harrowing quest to reunite. Along the way they will travel though new territories, forge unlikely friendships, and experience both unexpected moments of unbearable heartache as well as pure happiness.
