'Sebastian inherits a homing pigeon pair from an old man who goes into a retirement village. He learns to care for them and train them and clings to a dream of racing them and winning a trophy. Through his interest in the birds, Seb forgets to be lonely, finds himself making friends and finally feels at home. He eventually comes to realize that winning isn't everything.' (Publication summary)
