Delve into the world of twelve-year-old Lars Pushkin, an overweight pre-teen with low self-esteem, lacking in confidence, who questions his very existence. He constantly combats an addiction for sweets, especially assorted cupcakes. He manifests a subconscious foe by the name of Mr. 'T'—short for Mr. 'Temptation'.

Mr. 'Temptation' appears as a tall, thin figure adorned with a narrow-brim hat and a dark trench coat. Mr. 'T' comes across as a subconsciously spooky dude. Even worse is what he has hidden underneath his dark trench coat.

Seeking escape, Lars stumbles onto Mir the Magician, who offers hope in the shape of a coin. There are magical twists and turns as Lars navigates into his own.
