The story is about a fearful young girl, odd monsters and extraordinary cats.
We are all afraid of something. Someone is afraid of the dark, someone is afraid of ghosts or of thunderstorms. Ari’s dreams are filled with strange monsters and every morning she wakes up sobbing. Ari is getting worrier and worrier, but she is too ashamed to tell it to anybody else. However the monsters do not have an easy life either: they are tired of scaring Ari every night and definitely need a holiday.
Luckily, she is not alone, by her side there are some special friends: an eccentric ghost and cats…lots of them! Besides, these cats are unique, because they can travel through different worlds, reality and dreams, rescuing humans from the most horrible nightmares. Especially one of them, the Tailless, leads Ari to an exciting great adventure.
A journey between dream and reality, helping the protagonist discover herself, her courage and the importance of friendship.

"But can we fall?" said Ari, clutching the Tailless's fur tighter.
"As I told you, no. After flying for the first time, I will not fall any more. But you, when you ride a bicycle, you will definitely fall because sooner or later you will. And a beautiful thing will happen: you will get up and start again."
"What if I get hurt?"
"What if you don't hurt yourself? You see, the possibilities are the same." concluded the Tailless.
