The Story

A lost little mouse named Mio is on the run from the Mouse Mafia. In possession of a mysterious object, Mio learns, bit by bit, more about his fate and the world around him. Having strayed from his path, he ends up in a strange city and tries to go into hiding with a cat named Ben, who owns a fish shop in the heart of the city.

And then there is the disappearance of his father. How is he connected to the mystical object? Will the Mouse Mafia find Mio?
