A precocious teenager named Karin is abandoned by her father in rural Japan. While living in a temple with her grandfather, she meets Anzu, a giant “cat spirit” and notorious slacker who is tasked with looking after her. Wary of her new guardian, Karin sabotages Anzu’s odd jobs for the townspeople and befriends the eccentric local forest spirits. In her attempt to win Karin over, Anzu accidentally makes a deal with the devil and all hell breaks loose.
