Twelve-year-old Mia Dubois and her family face the power of Hurricane Reggie, a storm that blows down a pine tree that causes damage to their Plymouth, Massachusetts home and puts her elderly neighbor's life in danger.

She and her friends start an afterschool club that becomes involved in standing up for the often-overlooked residents of a city a thousand miles from home. In the process, Mia learns important lessons about climate change and climate justice, as well as organizing and friendship.
