For Coop, adjusting to a new home after being adopted by Zach, Emma and their mother, Jess, is not easy. It’s no wonder Coop wishes he could have his old life back. Enter a murder of crows, a stranger with a mysterious past, two bullies bent on making Zach’s life miserable, and a vicious dog with a grudge against Coop. As the risks and challenges mount, Coop’s wish only grows stronger. Will he ever find the forever home he so desperately wants?
