Twelve-year-old Lil Ant transforms his working-class neighborhood beneath an airport flight path into a living mythology, where family members become gods and the sky fills with endless departures. Looking for a connection with his conflicted father, the boy finds support in the community around him. The story blends childlike imagination with reality and the search for identity.
