Experience a Los Angeles adventure with Carter Ferris, a wordsmith extraordinaire navigating the urban jungle. On the eve of his wife Maggie's wisdom teeth surgery, their beloved Himalayan cat, Buttercup - a male cat despite his dainty name - pulls a vanishing act and disappears into the heart of the city. Little does Carter know, he's about to script a quest more epic than any screenplay.

In her post-surgery haze, hopped up on red wine and Vicodin, Maggie insists that Carter locate their esteemed feline. With unyielding determination, our intrepid protagonist embarks on a rescue mission into unfamiliar parts of the San Fernando Valley, encountering a host of peculiar characters, each with their own tale about Buttercup's whereabouts, but none leading to the actual cat.

Eventually, Carter meets Eddy Buick, Eddy spelled with a "Y," a self-proclaimed pet rescuer, who claims to have saved Buttercup, but where is the cat now? What unfolds is a hilarious tale featuring a snooty friend, a couple of bickering neighbors, a hooker, a gangbanger who works at Pet Co., an overzealous tough guy, a brigade of police, and a Wild West showdown even John Wayne would applaud.

Will Carter reunite with the elusive Buttercup, or will he contemplate acquiring a new baby Himalayan from a roadside hippie? Get ready for an uproarious, Hollywood escapade, where complicated relationship issues and a case of feline mistaken identity collide in this unexpected comedy of errors.
