When a legendary magician is cursed into the body of a house cat, he needs more than magic to save his world-he needs a friend.
Koeko was once the most powerful sorcerer in his land, but after a dark spell goes wrong, he wakes up on Earth as a fluffy orange-and-white calico cat. While Koeko struggles with his new paws, a wicked sorcerer has seized his throne and plunged his homeland into darkness.
The fate of a planet rests in the hands of Jasmine, a fearless seven-year-old girl with a heart of gold. When she discovers that her new "stray" cat is actually a king in disguise, she doesn't hesitate. Together, Jasmine and Koeko embark on a high-stakes mission to unlock forgotten magic and defeat a powerful enemy.
