Amy ha 13 anni ed è campionessa di nuoto della sua categoria. E' tosta, allegra, e le piace il lato grottesco della vita. In un incidente d'auto perderà Sophie, la sua migliore arnica, ed entrambe le gambe. La sua vita, appena cominciata, può considerarsi conclusa, o almeno è quello che Amy pensa all'indomani della tragedia. Ma nel centro di riabilitazione che è diventato la sua seconda casa, Amy incontrerà altre persone, con menomazioni simili alla sua, o peggiori. L'incontro con Harry, suo coetaneo, con un incredibile senso dello humour, costretto in sedia a rotelle da una malattia terminale, la aiuta a uscire dall'abisso di cupezza da cui neanche i famigliari riescono a distrarla. Poco a poco, Amy ricomincia a vivere, a guardare gli altri, a sperare di nuovo. E anche a nuotare.

Päť krásnych príbehov so šťastným koncom, inšpirovaných skutočnými udalosťami, osvetľuje príbehy ľudí s dobrým srdcom, ktorí pomáhajú zachraňovať zvieratá. V prvom príbehu Emka a jej rodina hľadajú svojho milovaného psíka Loptoša, ktorý sa stratil počas prechádzky v lese. Po mnohých neúspešných pokusoch ho nakoniec nájdu, ale je uväznený v banskej šachte, odkiaľ ho môžu vyslobodiť iba zvierací záchranári. Druhý príbeh sa sústreďuje na Bena, ktorý objaví opustené jahniatko počas povodní. Napriek zlým podmienkam sa snaží zavolať do záchranárskeho centra, aby pomohol jahniatku vrátiť sa k jeho mame. Janko v treťom príbehu nájde štyri malé sovičky, ktoré prišli o domov po zbúraní stodoly. S pomocou svojej maminky a záchranárov sa snaží nájsť pre ne náhradnú rodinu. Malá Sára v ďalšom príbehu zachráni zajačika, ktorého nájde vyhodeného pri ceste. Po návšteve záchranárskeho centra zorganizuje charitatívnu akciu, aby pomohla zvieratám, a snaží sa presvedčiť rodičov, aby si zajačika adoptovali. V poslednom príbehu Evan a Hana nájdu malú červienku uviaznutú v snehu a okamžite volajú záchranárov, aby jej pomohli. Rýchlosť akcie je kľúčová, pretože sneženie sa zhoršuje.
