Rex,
Hollywood's top-grossing canine, is known for his extreme athletic abilities and
diva-like demeanor. His perks package, rivaling that of any A-list celebrity,
includes Kobe beef, a poodle harem, and a diamond collar. Rex's luck--and
Hollywood high life--runs out while shooting a commercial; an aerial stunt goes
awry, leading Rex's handlers to presume he's dead. But Rex is merely
lost--alone, filthy and unrecognizable in an unfamiliar city. Chased by animal
control, he takes refuge in grubby abandoned lofts, a far cry from his former
luxurious lifestyle. Shane Fahey, a bright but rebellious 12-year-old, has
exasperated his father Connor for the umpteenth time. A single parent and
captain of the rundown inner city fire station known as Dogpatch, Connor is
charged with inspiring his sad-sack company, who are still coping with the
recent loss of their former captain, Connor's brother. Shane is also troubled by
his uncle's death, and he's been acting out by ditching school. As Connor
reprimands Shane for his unruly behavior, Dogpatch gets a call to put out a
blaze tearing through the lofts where Rex has been hiding. Trapped on the loft's
burning roof, Rex makes a death-defying leap and is rescued by Connor. Once they
are safe on the ground, Shane is tasked with finding the mutt's owner. The
pompous, fastidious Rex and the troubled, messy Shane immediately clash. Unaware
of Rex's true identity, Shane becomes his reluctant new master. But his attitude
changes when he discovers Rex's spectacular skills, which the firefighters put
to use during rescue calls. Inspired by the dog's talent and courage, Dogpatch
makes Rex its mascot. It's just the boost the company needs--and what Shane and
Connor need to help bring them together. But Rex's fame has drawn the attention
of his Hollywood handlers who want him back--while father and son face a deadly
challenge from an unexpected source.
