Eine grandiose Tragikomödie und jede Menge Federvieh Charlies eh schon kompliziertes Leben gerät aus den Fugen, als sein Vater vom heimischen Krankenhaus nach Virginia verlegt wird. Heimlich reisen ihm seine Kinder quer durchs Land nach: Charlie, seine anstrengende große Schwester, die hyperaktiven Zwillingsbrüder – und eine seltsame neue Familienfreundin als »Babysitter«. Um Zumutungen wie das stinkende Wohnmobil, ungenießbares Essen und eklige Toiletten irgendwie ertragen zu können, beschließt Charlie, unterwegs all die Vögel zu erspähen, die er und sein Vater irgendwann gemeinsam zu sehen gehofft hatten. Wenn ihm das bis Virginia gelingt, wird sein Vater bestimmt wieder gesund!
