Instead of lobotomizing him, Naomi reprograms Castiel by de-aging him back into a baby. Dean and Sam rescue him, but are unable to reverse the effects. Instead, they take on the task of raising and caring for the baby angel until he can grow back up into the Cas they know and love... Or will he?
Castiel still has his angel powers, but no control of them and virtually no memories. He grows more quickly than expected, and the Winchesters struggle to stay on top of his constantly changing developmental milestones and needs. To make matters even more complicated, memories of his past life begin to resurface in Cas's dreams, and their enemies see an opportunity to use the incapacitated angel's vulnerability to their advantage.
Cas's thoughts and feelings about his situation change as he grows, and all three of them must contend with the challenge of adapting their lives and relationships to this new reality. Will their little family ever be the same again?
