Sammy’s hamster Raffi is cleverer than any other of his kind. He’s great at scoring goals in football and, what makes him even more precious, he was given to Sammy by his father, who left his family to take a “time off”. But one day, Raffi gets seriously ill and before he can recover, he’s kidnapped by Rocky, a ruthless criminal. Sammy is determined to bring Raffi back home. Since his mother is busy working and his sister Molly prefers to spend time with her boyfriend, he ventures out to start his search for Raffi alone.
