"- As the youngest one, I must prepare for the day I'll be left alone.
- And you think I am strange?"
A ten year-old Sam and his family head off to the Dutch island of Terschelling on holiday. During their first day there, Sam accidentally meet Tess; a peculiar girl who has an ingenious plan for getting to know her birth father. She's got just one week to make his acquaintance, and she decides that Sam should help her. Although Sam is forcing himself to ractice being alone to protect himself from future grief, he discovers during his adventures with Tess how important family really is.
