11-year-old Toe Thompson is the designated punching bag for the bullies of his suburb community when during a freak storm, a mysterious wish-granting Rainbow Rock falls from the sky. Suddenly the neighborhood that Toe already thinks is weird is about to get even weirder. As the Rainbow Rock ricochets around town, wishes-come-true quickly and turn the neighborhood upside down.
