When his father faces financial difficulties, 12-year-old Max is forced to close the pawnshop he runs in his garage and move to a small country town.
Max is crestfallen when he must close-up shop on his garage-based business and move to the countryside. Though he’s now closer to his cousins, the bustling life of a family farm is a shock to his quiet, city-kid existence. But not all hope is lost; when he discovers free range chickens in an abandoned barn, a new business plan is born. With the help of Alice, a social media savvy neighbour, a new animal-friendly egg farm takes off and brings the whole community together.
