11 year old Nemo (Marlow Barkley) lives with her father, Peter (Kyle Chandler), in a lighthouse.
Nemo is home schooled by her dad (who believes schools are prisons) and knows everything there is to know about the lighthouse (except what it is really used for).

That night, Peter, died trying to save some fishermen caught in the storm and Nemo, with her her stuffed toy pig, is now living with her uncle Philip (Chris O’Dowd)…..a kind-hearted but reclusive door knob salesman who works remotely and rarely leaves his apartment.

Meanwhile, Nemo hopes to talk with her father one more time, and figures she can do that in her dreams……..where she meets Flip (Jason Momoa)……and……
