Nine-year-old Ian has all sorts of secrets, that nobody will ever hear. This non-verbal savant only speaks through his cello.

Ian’s retrocognitive abilities allow him to see the disturbing history of any animal he encounters. During his traumatic stay at a children’s mental institution, he, along with a group of talented spiders in his room, save the other children, free the lab animals and enter The Great Kingdom at 39 Rattenbury Lane.
