As Omar navigates this incredible new reality, he soon learns that these tiny inhabitants are in desperate need of a hero. They face their own struggles and conflicts, and Omar, the gentle giant, might just be the one to bring them peace. But even as he strives to help his new friends, Omar's heart aches for his own family, and he dreams of finding his way back to his beloved mum.
