When a quiet, half‑loner teen in a small Belgian village adopts Ivan, a sharp‑tongued Russian cat who is sweet one moment and vicious the next, his life shifts toward the abandoned edges of town. Together they explore forgotten farmhouses, empty factories, and overgrown lots, uncovering secrets about the places people left behind and the reasons they left each other. As Ivan's food‑driven moods swing between cuddly and cruel, the boy is forced to confront his own loneliness, his few fragile friendships, and how far he's willing to go to feel less invisible. What begins as harmless urban exploring slowly becomes a dangerous obsession that could cost him his home, his friends, and the one creature who understands him best.
