Synopsis

As night falls, Mouse becomes frightened by the dark and the looming shadows. Fortunately, he meets Ray, a friendly firefly who offers to light his way home. Along their journey, they encounter other animals who share Mouse's fear. With Ray's gentle guidance, they discover that the shadows aren't as scary as they seem. But sometimes, just sometimes, the shadows might be exactly what they appear to be.
