In this fictional story, a documentary crew arrives to make a movie about a Canadian family and their youngest son, Kenny (Kenny Easterday), who has no legs. Kenny is a happy, willful teen who doesn't wear a prosthesis on his lower torso, much preferring to walk on his hands. When his beloved sister Sharon (Liane Curtis) suddenly runs away, Kenny sets out by himself to retrieve her. After he finds her in Philadelphia, she admits to the jealousy and frustration she has been repressing for years.
