This is the extraordinary true story of the eccentric British artist Louis Wain, whose playful, sometimes psychedelic images helped transform public perceptions of cats forever. Set between the late 1800s to the 1930s, the film follows the incredible adventures of this inspiring, anonymous hero who, in seeking to unravel the "electric" mysteries of the world, aimed to better understand his own life and the deep love that bound him to his wife, Emily Richardson.
