Synopsis
Orphaned children at Star Kids Home escape reality through imaginative adventures in a junked car named Sunny.
At the Star Kids Home, a combination group home/orphanage, a disparate group of children struggle with both the everyday issues of growing up and those specific to abandoned or orphaned children. Their one avenue of escape is the Sunny, a junked car that sits a little ways from the home. In the Sunny they can travel the world, go into space, or just find a refuge from the troubles of their world. (Source: ANN)
