All nine-year-old Matthew Reusha has ever wanted was a dog. He can't connect with his parents, who believe he's nonverbal from spite, and he can't connect with the boy across the street who beats him up for playing with his toys. All at once, Matthew discovers a magical stray blue dog outside his window who takes him on adventures, and more importantly, on a journey to connect with the people who misunderstood him most.
