岁的瘦弱小男孩马克思（凯登·博伊德饰），像大部分同年龄的小朋友一样，心事重重，父母的管教、繁重的功课、没有朋友，生活别提多么不如意了。而且，这整个无聊的夏天他都将孤独度过，未来显得黯淡无比。喜欢漫画的马克思决定创造一本属于自己的历险记，在里面他大显神勇，还和自己最喜欢的漫画角色鲨鱼男孩、火山女孩一起探险。

The screenplay tells the story of the toxic relationship between two strong, independent women who are aware that they are alone in the world: Beatriz, who has apparently achieved everything in life that she set out to do; and Sofía, who thinks she is ready to do whatever it takes to get the life she believes she deserves.
