A homeless man named Maxx (Channing Tatum) lives in a cardboard box in an alley, but in his mind he is the protector of the Leopard Queen (Emma Stone), a powerful goddess who inhabits the dream world called Pangea. Maxx must defend the Queen from the threats of Mr. Gone (Willem Dafoe), a psychopath who knows the secret of Pangea and wants to destroy it. What Maxx doesn't know is that the Leopard Queen is actually Julie Winters (Emma Stone), a social worker who helps him in the real world and who has a hidden trauma that connects her to him. When Maxx and Julie's worlds begin to collide, they must both face their demons and discover the truth about their destiny.
