Cam doesn’t complain about the basic gift (despite the cruel teasing of his neighbour, a boy named Marcus) – he knows his dad is making the best out of a bad situation. Mike returns home to give his son Cam his birthday present. It all sounds very Gremlins and, just like in that film, the rules are inevitably going to be broken.

Mike only has seventy-eight cents in his pocket – which just so happens to be the price of an empty cardboard box Mr Gideon is selling. When he comes across a toy stall ran by a gentleman named Old Man Gideon, Mike doesn’t get his hopes up. ![]() Down on his luck and with barely a penny to his name due to the poor state of the economy (Mike’s a builder by trade), he can’t even afford to get his son a decent birthday present. ![]() Mike is a single parent who desperately misses his dead wife.
