From acclaimed writer/director Steven Soderbergh, comes a heart-warming portrait of 12 year old Aaron Kurlander, who uses his wit and fearless sense of adventure to survive in Depression-era St. Louis. In his fantasies, Aaron is an advisor to pilot Charles Lindbergh, but his fortunes are actually in rapid decent. He remains undaunted, devising ill-fated money making schemes, and inventing glamorous identities for his parents. But things take a dive as his family begins to fall apart.
