Somewhere in the U.S., in a small farming community called Lowland County, a girl named Piper McCloud is born to a simple, God-fearing farmer and his wife. Piper has a special talent: she can fly. Home-schooled and kept away from outsiders, Piper is lonely. Finally, her parents let her go to a community picnic, where she thinks sheĺl meet new friends. Instead, she terrifies the neighbors by flying up to catch a ball during a kids ́game. In no time,...

When Piper loses her ability to fly, she finds she cannot even do ordinary things until the "normal" people around her help her recover her abilities, as she discovers theirs.
