Edmond's favorite story is about Chanticleer, a rooster whose singing makes the sun rise every morning until the Grand Duke of Owls, whose alliance despises the sun, makes him look like a fraud. The owls drive Chanticleer from the farm and put it under a spell of perpetual darkness. As Edmond's own farm suffers, he calls to Chanticleer and accidentally summons the Duke himself, who transforms him into a kitten to devour him. He's rescued by Chanticleer's friends, Patou the Farm Hound, Snipes the magpie, and Peepers the mouse, and they go on an adventure to the city where Chanticleer has become a rock star. Chanticleer himself feels distant and misses his old life but is often drowns his sorrows with his singing and performances. The group must find Chanticleer and get him home, all while evading the wrath of other creatures of the night. Edmond as well must find a way to get back home and back to normal before it's too late.
