In a quiet barrio, Red—a misunderstood creature feared for his appearance—longs to be accepted. His only friend, Azul, comes up with a plan: he’ll pretend to be the villain so Red can save the children and earn their trust.

The plan works. Red finally finds the friendship he dreamed of. But days pass, and Azul never returns. As the rain begins to fall, Red is left wondering if his friend has truly left him behind.
