Nearly a year after Jack last saw George, his imaginary friend, Jack’s father also leaves his life. Jack’s mother believes he simply outgrew George, but Jack wonders whether George chose to go away. As his mother’s bipolar disorder goes untreated and she leaves him with extended family during a manic episode, Jack turns to George, who is half walrus and half human, hoping to find a way to bring his family back together.
