Oscar, a 10-year-old boy, lives in a hospital. Neither the doctors nor his parents have the courage to tell him the truth. After listening in to a conversation, he finds out he only has a few weeks to live. Furious, he refuses to speak to anyone except straight-talking Rose, who delivers pizza to the hospital. As Christmas approaches, Rose uses her experiences as a professional wrestler, her imagination, wit and charm to allow Oscar to live life to the fullest.
