Story reveals herself to be a “Narf,” a nymph-like creature from the “Blue World” whose purpose is to inspire a human writer whose book will help save humanity. She is on a perilous journey back to her world but is being hunted by a vicious, wolf-like creature called a “Scrunt.” Cleveland, despite his initial disbelief and his own past trauma, becomes determined to help Story fulfill her mission and return home safely.
As Cleveland delves deeper into the lore of the Narfs with the help of a Korean tenant and her mother, he learns that Story requires the assistance of several specific individuals from the human world: a Guardian, a Symbolist, a Healer, and a Guild of Seven. He begins to identify the eccentric residents of his apartment complex as these fabled figures, leading to a series of often humorous and sometimes dangerous attempts to fulfill the prophecy and protect Story from the relentless Scrunt. The film explores themes of destiny, purpose, and the power of collective belief, culminating in a dramatic showdown where the fate of Story, and potentially humanity, hangs in the balance.
