Třináctileté Meg Murryové se poslední dobou moc nevede. Připadá si nemožná, nehezká, ve škole se jí nedaří, nikam nezapadá. O jejím pětiletém bratru Charlesovi kolují ošklivé pomluvy, a ke všemu musí poslouchat vlezlé narážky na záhadné zmizení svého táty, talentovaného fyzika, který se pořád nevrací. Jedné temné bouřlivé noci ale do domu Murryových zavítá nečekaná, podivná návštěva – paní Kdovíco. Jak se ukáže, paní Kdovíco má ještě dvě stejně podivné přítelkyně, a všechny tři chtějí Meg a Charlesovi pomoct najít tátu. Aby se za ním ale obě děti dostaly, musí se vydat na nebezpečnou cestu napříč prostorem a časem a za pomoci svého kamaráda Calvina svést bitvu s temnotou, která postupně zahaluje celý vesmír.
