The boy October dreams of becoming a great explorer, but he is afraid to go out, afraid of the unknown and dangerous outside. He is always at home, inside books, embarking on safe, comfortable "adventures". With the constant encouragement of his family, October builds up the courage to go into the real wilderness, but when he accidentally loses his way, a magical encounter with the "Great Beast of the Wilderness" is about to begin.
