Synopsis

It’s an average shopping day in Walmart when, suddenly, all the adults in the store disappear. Five children are left behind: William, Jane, Sunshine, Lacey, and Joey. William and Jane are siblings, as are Lacey and Joey. Sunshine is an only child. The children find each other and, after an initial panic, assess their situation. Despite sibling bickering and their different social backgrounds, the children find a common bond through their experience and true friendships are formed.
