Piper considers herself royalty among cats. She adores her girl Riley, who treats her with the proper reverence a feline queen deserves. Riley showers Piper with attention and spoils her completely. But their perfect relationship faces constant interruption from the Lesser Beings who share their home. Riley's brother Jackson makes too much noise and smells terrible. Tank the dog drools everywhere and offends Piper's refined sensibilities. She cannot stand sharing Riley's affections with these inferior creatures. Piper devises what seems like the ideal solution. She will escape the house and take Riley with her to find a new home where they can live together without interruption. No more slobbering dogs or annoying brothers. Just Piper and Riley in perfect harmony. But once Piper puts her plan into action, she discovers that finding a true home proves far more complicated than she imagined. Her grand scheme forces her to confront what home really means and whether running away can solve her problems.
