Willow and Luna have survived on city streets since their mother died. The two sisters built a makeshift shelter and learned to fend for themselves as kittens. A mysterious fire destroys their home and forces them to seek refuge elsewhere. In a local park, they encounter strange animals unlike any they have met before. These creatures reveal Luna's hidden magical abilities and welcome her into their secretive community. Luna embraces her newfound powers and the animals who awakened them. Willow remains skeptical of these so-called attuned animals and wants nothing to do with their cause. The sisters learn that human witches hunt these magical creatures to bind them as servants. As both cats develop their own supernatural gifts, they choose opposite sides of an escalating conflict. Their bond fractures under the weight of their different destinies. The entire city's future depends on decisions these two sisters will make.
