Martin is spending the last days of summer with his Great-Aunt Zavella, who knows every inch of the woods around her cabin. While playing his violin, he notices a red fox watching him, and his aunt warns him never to look directly into its eyes. When Martin ignores the warning and locks eyes with the fox, he discovers he has switched bodies with the animal for a day. Now trapped in the fox's body, he must navigate the forest and learn what it truly means to see the world through another creature's eyes.
