Such is the story of our little 12-year-old boy, Archie, who loves his mom and dad a lot, but he knows something is wrong. They always fight and quarrel and are never happy together. Things went so wrong that Archie’s dad moves out of the house. But being a 12-year-old genius, he was curious to know what exactly went wrong? Why were his parents always fighting? Why were they living separately? And this curiosity boosted him to find the answers to make everything right between his parents. But he doesn’t know from where he should start because he knows NOTHING! But a single crumpled piece of paper helped him know where he would find his answers at the end of a Rainbow. But the journey to reach the end of the rainbow was full of dangers and risks, and even if a single thing goes wrong, there can be horrible consequences. But does reaching the end of the rainbow solve all his problems and make things normal for his family?
