The documentary takes an intimate look into the adult fandom of the children's television series Thomas & Friends through various fan conventions and personal interviews.

Many are preserving props from the television series, and some have even managed to work on the series itself as both writers and consultants. Around the world and from different walks of life, adult fans reflect on their love for the show, and how it has forever changed the course of their lives.[citation needed]
