When a run-in with the local bully means the boys risk losing their beloved dog, Cody, they hatch a plan to keep him safe. They'll take him to live with their grandmother in the Sierra Nevada mountains. He'll be safe there, and Grandma--who lives off the grid--will benefit from the companionship.

Do the boys have what it takes to outsmart the developers and save their grandmother's beloved home?
