The story follows Andi, a pint-sized, basketball-obsessed young girl living in London who desperately wants to make it onto her school's basketball team despite her short height. Her biggest wish comes true when her long-lost, sixteen-year-old half-brother, Bernardo, finally obtains his visa to leave the Philippines and join the family in England. Andi expects a regular older brother who shares her love for the sport, but when Bernardo steps off the plane, she discovers he is an astounding eight feet tall due to a medical condition called gigantism.
