Little does he know that his life is about to take an extraordinary turn. Within the walls of this peculiar home, Dean stumbles upon a truly remarkable discovery – Marcel, a talking shell who stands at a mere one inch tall. But Marcel is not alone; he shares the company of his wise grandmother, Nana Connie, and a delightful ball of lint named Alan.
