Gizmo is ripped away from his home as sheltered 10-year-old Sam Wing is introduced to a world of magic and danger by his Grandpa in Shanghai.

Sam must choose between keeping Gizmo safe or returning to his normal life, a choice that is further complicated by a street thief.

Sam, Elle, and Gizmo have their trust in each other shaken when they’re stalked on a train by both a train cop and a supernatural stranger.

A raging storm in the desolate countryside forces our heroes to seek shelter with a too-friendly innkeeper and her oddly docile guests.

Everyone’s nerves are tested as Sam, Elle, and Gizmo follow Grandpa’s map through a dark, dangerous forest.

Our heroes must convince Gizmo’s creator to help them on their quest and that humans aren’t all bad.
