Bucky is a five year old boy who stopped speaking after the death of his father and who has just moved with his family to a new neighborhood. In an effort to build new friendships and find joy once more he has to bring a toy gun to the park so as to join in all the fun and games with the other children who frequent there. A series of spontaneous events brings the much wanted gun into the hands of Bucky but unbeknown to him it's no toy.
