In a cold, grey, dystopian world, a widowed father rabbit challenges absolute authority by trying to infuse an ounce of wonder, and a little bit of hope, magic, and possibility into his daughter’s life after the mysterious disappearance of her mother. A story of resilience, love and hope in the face of darkness.
