The film centers around a cat that is seeking out a young girl (played by Drew Barrymore) in order to save her from a supernatural danger. In the process of looking for her, the cat is a witness to other strange events, such as a smoker who is forced to quit his habit by a bizarre organization, and a man who is forced to play a deadly game on the ledge of a building. Eventually, the cat finds the girl, only to come face to face with a troll who wishes to steal the soul of the girl.
