The official synopsis follows Nero, a black cat who begins questioning whether he has chosen the right path after spending years in the seaside city of Venice. Indebted to Rocco, a local feline mob boss, Nero finds himself in a dangerous bind. He is forced to forge an unlikely friendship with street artist Maja, who reluctantly takes him in, but their bond may ultimately guide Nero toward the life he has always wanted—unless Venice's criminal underworld gets to him first. Like every cat, Nero once had nine lives. Now he is down to his last, and he must make it count by finally choosing his own path.
