La vita con le sue zie è difficile e sogna di un posto migliore, più specificamente New York City, un posto da sogno di cui i suoi genitori gli avevano parlato. I suoi sogni diventano veri quando uno straniero appare con un sacco di cose magiche tra cui vari insetti che trasforma in esseri viventi e parlanti, nondimeno fa si che un'ordinaria pesca cresca di immense proporzioni. È su questa pesca che James ed i suoi nuovi insetti amici viaggiano per la loro terra "da sogno".
