Charlie is an anxious kid, and Ralph is a wildly energetic rescue dog. Together, they're best friends, and an unexpectedly perfect (and unpredictable) team.

Charlie's life is a series of obstacles, not least of which is an uncontrollable urge to barf when his anxiety overwhelms him. Ralph is an unpredictable rescue dog with more energy than manners. The two make an unlikely pair but are the best of friends.

When Ralph follows Charlie to school and causes a scene, the pair are encouraged to try dog agility training to bond. For Charlie, it's a chance to connect, build confidence, and maybe even step outside his comfort zone.

Can this anxious kid and his unstoppable dog take a leap of faith and make it to the finish line together?
