Wilbur, just 1.50 m tall, is not exactly lucky. his Irish mother dies at his birth, his Swedish father does a runner and his first home is the incubator. He only discovers what home is when his grandparents fetch him to Ireland. But happiness is shortlived. His best friend lands in borstal, his grandmother Orla dies in an accident, and Wilbur decides that he is and will always be a loser. But the charming Aimee wants to teach him something different: Wilbur should at long last seek his happiness where it is, right in front of him.
