Trouble

From the time he was a puppy Trouble has lived a lavish life. Playing in a large mansion, eating filet mignon for lunch, and sleeping on the finest linens, this pampered pooch had everything a dog could dream of. But after his wealthy owner passes away, Trouble finds himself alone, lost, and in search of a way back home. Now Trouble’s privileged mindset will make him the ultimate fish out of water in this scary new world.

Meanwhile, unbeknownst to him, the greedy relatives of his late owner hire an eccentric animal tracker to find Trouble after learning he is actually the key to the inheritance. As Trouble stays one step ahead of the animal tracker, his journey will lead him to meet Rousey, a tough street dog who befriends Trouble and teaches him ropes of the real world, and Zoe, an 18-year-old rising musician who is struggling to find her place in the world. In their own unique way, they will both help Trouble discover that what matters most in life is not what you have, but who you have.
