This film is based on a true story. FBI Agent McKenzie (Max) De Ridder has recently lost her mother. She was McKenzie’s best friend and greatest champion. McKenzie has been suspended from the FBI and she is on administrative leave for not following orders. McKenzie’s current behavior is erratic, frenzied, drinking and lost. She escapes to the small ranch town of Merveille where she used to visit on Star Adventures with her mother. McKenzie meets Freddie, he is a young special needs boy and he has a rare disease called Fanconi Anemia. His hands are not formed properly, he has frequent fevers and illnesses. He also has a short life span.
McKenzie begins to heal as she learns other people also have problems in their lives and they are not just in her own life. McKenzie has not disclosed to anyone that she is an FBI Agent. This may be a mistake and come as a shocking surprise? Perhaps she should have revealed this fact in the beginning? The scenery is this area is very beautiful. Also, Freddie’s grandmother met Mackenzie previously and she is starting to remember meeting her.
