They say trouble comes in threes - and Dhruv would definitely agree. His grandmother (Nani Ma) believes prayer solves everything, but Dhruv isn't so sure. The school bully, Logan, seems determined to make life miserable for him and his best friend Paul. And then his teacher gives him the hardest assignment yet: write about what he believes in.
When Dhruv's dad faces a serious health scare, everything changes. Stuck between fear, faith, and figuring out who he really is, Dhruv must find the courage to navigate his world-and discover what he truly believes.
