Like a baby bird, who is afraid of leaving the nest. Shannon begins having doubts about going away to college. On her last day at work, ghosts from the past help her find the courage to reach for her dreams and fly into her wonderful future. Working at a movie theater, which was created during the heyday of vaudeville, was more than a job, it became Shannon's safe haven. It was the only place where she found the sense of peace, security, and acceptance that eluded her in the rest of her life.

Mickey's Tree is a heartfelt family drama following a teenage boy, Mario, recovering from trauma, who follows various pathways to recovery through adventures with a rescue dog named "Mickey", therapy, art/music, and family support.
