This film is based on five American kids of elementary to middle school of age. Anthony lives in Washington DC, Daisy in Los Angeles, Francisco in Bronx, Emily in Silicon Valley and Bianca in Harlem. All of these five children are very sharp minded and they all have dreams and hope to become great people in the society.
