Mickey is a 12-year old self-proclaimed nerd who spends his time alone with his iPod, iPad, and countless video games. His ongoing struggle with asthma renders him unable to participate in the rough and tumble activities kids his age enjoy, including sports, but that doesn't stop his parents from sending him off to camp for the summer. There he meets Jackson, a lonely and beaten down plow horse. The moment Mickey touches Jackson something magical happens; he discovers that he and the plow horse share a gift that will change their lives forever.
