Synopsis
What is it that makes the night so mysterious? What's behind all of those unexplainable things that happen when darkness falls? What makes us fall asleep and dream? Could it be that there is somebody, somewhere, making sure that all of this happens just the way it's supposed to?
It's true that Tim never asked himself these questions, but from the moment he saw that tiny, fragile star fall from the sky as he sat upon the orphanage rooftop, he knew that something was going wrong. Maybe if he hasn't leaned over to see where it fell, he would have never slipped off the roof and fallen into the nocturnal void. Then he never would have been rescued by the Cat Shepherd and his incredible following of cats, and they, in turn, would never have told him the truth about the many people working endlessly to make the night such a magical place. But, of course, he wouldn't have decided right then and there to overcome his fears and begin his adventure through the night in search of that little fallen star. But that's exactly the way it happened.
