Sid is an introverted 12-year-old who wants to blend in. Otto is an opera-singing octopus who wants to standout! So when Otto mistakenly endsup in Sid’s struggling family fish shop in the small town of Rone (instead of Rome), Sid’s already complicated life is turned completely upside down.
Sid gets enough attention from the bullies at school without a pesky, know-it-all octopus stowing away in his bag. But when a TV talent showcomes to town – where first prize is enough money to get Otto to Rome and Sid enrolled in the art school of his dreams – this unlikely duo decides that teaming up will give them the best chance of winning.
But can a shy, small-town kid and a pompous, attention-seeking octopus put aside their differences long enough? Or will it all end in a full-blown televised disaster?
