The Fourth wish

A touching story about a father’s fight against all odds to attain the three wishes of his boy and of his own fourth wish. John Meillon is Casey, the father with the amazing determination to achieve the last three wishes of his dying son. You will like Casey. When the chips are down he’s got the guts to get in there and have a go. He’s taking on the world - for the sake of his son. He has to! He has three very important things to achieve and if it means bucking the system, he’ll do it to win.
