The day before starting her first job animating at Classic Cartons, Petulia Pink suddenly finds herself homeless.
Hustling to find a place to sleep every night adds to the stress of crunch time and her bizarre boss, Zanta, whose fake lashes, lips and brows are an artistic statement of their own, does not make her life any easier. Neither does star-animator Max Koa, whose work she reveres.
Despite harassment of every kind, her talent and hard work are eventually recognised and she finds a friend and a home.
