10 Lives follows the pampered and selfish cat Beckett who takes for granted the lucky hand he has been dealt. However, when he carelessly loses his ninth life, he pleads to be allowed to return to his perfect life. His request is at first refused, but in a moment of exceptional empathy, the Gatekeeper allows him to return to Earth with a new set of lives. What he doesn’t realize is that each of these new lives will see him return in different forms, each one teaching him a valuable and timely lesson. The journey turns Beckett from a self-absorbed pet to a self-sacrificing hero as he travels many different roads to find the very best version of himself.
