Enter Martha, a talented illustrator who wins a contest to bring Uncle Bump's next adventure to life, only to find herself entangled in Greg's chaotic world.

Concerned yet determined, John, the middleman, hatches a plan to keep Martha on board by introducing Danny, a juvenile delinquent masquerading as Greg's son.
