Dennis, 10, longs to be reunited with his father, who he misses terribly. Dennis and his older brother Johnny share a tiny magical creature known as the "Shadow Animal" who also happens to be Dennis' closest friend. The two brothers live in a tough neighbourhood. Together, Dennis and the Shadow Animal follow Johnny down to the local park where Johnny's gang hangs out. When Dennis learns that the rival gang is planning to execute his brother, Dennis faces a terrible dilemma: Should he continue looking for his missing father or try and prevent Johnny from being shot?
