Catch That Kid Plot Summary
What happens in Catch That Kid from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 15 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 4-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
As 12-year-old Madeline Rose “Maddy” Phillips navigates her world with an unquenchable love for climbing, she finds herself caught between her ambitions and the cautionary shadows of her father’s past. Maddy’s father, Tom (played by Sam Robards), suffered a devastating fall from over 100 feet that has left him paralyzed from the neck down. His wife, Molly (portrayed by Jennifer Beals), is gripped by fear and forbids Maddy from engaging in climbing activities. On top of this, Tom’s paralysis is worsened by previous injuries, leading to the need for an experimental surgery that promises hope — albeit at a staggering cost of $250,000, a sum that their insurance refuses to cover.
