As the sun dips from the sky and drizzle begins to fall, a small ginger cat finds himself homeless and alone.
Desperate for warmth and a home he scurries from house to house on the heels of a group of people delivering care packages. Each time a door is opened, the cat slips inside, and each time he is evicted. No one wants him until Theo, a gruff old man, opens his heart and home.
Abandoned and friendless but for each other, Theo and Merlin try to find a way to heal, and hope for the future. But neither can forget those they left behind. For Merlin it's young Imelda, a troubled 15-year-old girl, and Bully Boy, the feral cat that once mentored him. For Theo it's the family that no longer speaks to him. Both wonder: can forgiveness ever be found
An inspiring, heartbreaking and uplifting story about friendship and forgiveness, and the extraordinary cat who is the most faithful of friends.
