After being placed in a foster home that has a no-pets policy, the siblings are forced to find alternative shelters for their loyal companion. Their solution – a dilapidated hotel standing vacant on the outskirts of the city. With nothing but their determination and resourcefulness, the teenagers transform the abandoned hotel into a sanctuary for their dog, who they have lovingly named Friday. Their plan is to provide the best possible care for their pet, keeping him safe from harm and ensuring he has a comfortable and happy life. However, their scheme goes awry when other stray dogs in the town begin to notice the hotel, sensing that this is a haven where they can find safety and comfort. Word of the hotel's canine-friendly atmosphere spreads quickly, drawing more and more homeless dogs to the hotel. As these new arrivals bring their unique personalities and quirks, the hotel quickly becomes a bustling community teeming with life. Among the newcomers are Baxter, a street-smart stray who claims to have the ability to sense the intentions of the people who live nearby, and White Keys, a shy yet affectionate dog who befriends Andi. While some of the canine residents prove to be a handful, the hotel quickly becomes a vibrant hub of activity, filled with laughter, friendship, and camaraderie. However, their joy is short-lived when they receive an eviction notice from the city's social services, who are determined to tear down the hotel to make way for new development projects. This news leaves the teenagers and their canine friends facing an uncertain future. With their home under threat of destruction, the siblings must quickly mobilize to protect their sanctuary and the animals who call it home.

They create an elaborate system of pulleys and levers to ensure that everyone gets enough food and attention, even when the hotel's resources seem scarce. Meanwhile, the teenagers try to maintain a semblance of normalcy, while the dogs keep their spirits high and entertain themselves with fun games and activities. As tensions rise and the stakes become ever higher, the teenagers come up with a plan to convince the city that their hotel is not just a sanctuary but also an integral part of the community.
