The cold has deserted winter, causing the polar bears in the zoo to pace
in an endless quest for sleep. Their caretaker, Sasha, will do anything
to bring them slumber. But when a boy named Marcus suddenly appears at
his window, bringing a different outlook on the meaning of family, Sasha
finds himself buried under new responsibilities--such as packing lunches
and reading bedtime stories--rather than snow. And so he keeps going
back to the bears, believing that he'll find relief by the day that's
circled on the calendar, but missing Marcus's pleas for attention and
care.
