At age 11, Flynn's strong beliefs in saving all creatures, including the smallest insects, often make him a target for ridicule. He befriends Jack, a new classmate who shares a love for winged creatures and who was bequeathed a tiny pair of wings from a dying moth. These wings allow Jack access into a magical kingdom called Wingdom.
Jack invites Flynn to travel with him to Wingdom where they share a wondrous time flying and making new friends until some hideous giant spiders appear and entrap them.
With great effort, they escape but only with the help of two brave dragonflies who send farting fireballs to the spiders.
Wingdom is a special place where adventures happen and lasting friendships are formed.
