And with only a mean kitten to keep him company, Ferdinand feels lost; that is, until he invites a neighbor in need to share the house with him. This opens up the floodgates, with people from around the community coming to his farm for consolation and company. And then one guest comes who threatens to wreck everything...

What Josh learns from "Principal" could ultimately threaten his life.
