A colorful, playful adventure about self-discovery and belonging, where a boy's transformation into a monster becomes a journey toward accepting his true identity.

Young Lucas finds out he's not really a human after he surprisingly transforms into a monster in front of the most popular kids at school. His search for Monster Island and his real roots takes him on a fabulously scary journey that puts him face to face with more tentacles, fangs and far-out situations than he can shake one of his new wings at.
