Eight-year-old Max is counting to a million. Normally, having anything interesting to do would get in the way, but school is shut and everyone has to stay home because the UK is in its first lockdown. Max’s dad works at the hospital and counting helps Max with missing him, but as the pandemic progresses, what starts as a distraction turns into a record-breaking effort that brings Max’s community together.
