In a bustling Manhattan boarding house, four siblings—headstrong Dorothy, dream‑filled twins Lilian and Leicester, and the tiny, song‑sweet Fairy—spend their afternoons trading grand visions of open skies and endless yards. Their mother, a gentle but weary matriarch, watches the lively quartet turn a cramped room into a stage for imagination, where daring ideas clash with the realities of cramped quarters and nightly meals.
As the children argue over deserts, Texas plains, and even a floating Madison Square Garden, their spirited banter hints at a plan that could take them far beyond the boarding‑house walls. With laughter, dancing, and a touch of mischief, the Dorrance family begins to weave the first threads of a adventure that promises more freedom, friendship, and the kind of daring that only a close‑knit household can muster.
