Synopsis
Three brothers live together. The eldest, Kenneth, is a struggling staff lawyer at a not-for-profit while raising his younger brothers. Calvin is a morose and withdrawn young teen who spends all his time making cheesy pop music and dreaming of a pop star. Little DiDi is 7, and lives almost entirely in a fantasy world where he draws in the air and dreams of being a mermaid. They all have a useless magical ability: to conjure the images and sounds they imagine into the air. All three of them are trying to find a place for a soft magical boy in a hard, unmagical world.
