Amber Brown is a relatable guide who uses humor and honesty to process her fear of change. As Amber's mother and her new stepfather, Max, prepare to move the family into a new house, Amber struggles with the physical act of packing and the emotional weight of saying goodbye to the only home she has ever known.
