It’s the first day of the holidays and Sam is roaming the island of Texel; imagining what it’d feel like to be the last person on earth. Then; like a whirlwind; 12-year-old islander Tess swoops into his life. Sam’s only option is to go along for the ride. Soon he’s dancing the waltz; burying a pet canary and coming up with an especially weird plan to help Tess find her father; who doesn’t even know she exists. Along the way; Sam discovers the true meaning of family and what it is to be alive. One thing’s for sure – this is a holiday he’ll never forget.
