As an average student with a gifted younger sister, 10-year-old Noah Wilder (Chris O' Neil) concludes that "life sucks." He and his parents have succumbed to the trappings of today's world, and a humdrum life. Only his 5 year old sister, Emma (Rhiannon Leigh Wryn), resists them.
But during a family vacation, Noah and Emma find a strange box that washes up on shore. At once frightened and captivated, Noah wraps the mysterious object in his beach towel and smuggles it home.
Inside the box, Noah and Emma find several curious things: a crystal shaped like a large credit card, a "gelatinous mass" that looks like brain coral, a jagged meteorite-like rock (that later breaks into nine "spinners,") a sea shell and, most alluring of all, a beat-up stuffed rabbit. It seems to whisper in Emma's ear, "Mimzy."
