When Summer's mom becomes homeless, she temporarily moves in with Summer and her daughter Chloe. She brings along miniatures of the buildings in the town where they live, which Summer's dad once made. As Chloe begins to set them up along with the accompanying figures, reality starts to adjust based on how she places them. Among other things, Ryan, a construction engineer, comes to town to visit his brother over Christmas, and he and Summer share some common ground as she is an architect.
The movie is well-made and not entirely light hearted. They have put together a reasonably good story despite the somewhat magical theme (which doesn't overshadow everything).
