Zvířata v Caldeře se odjakživa dělila na noční a denní. Noční tvorové se obávali zvířat lovících přes den a naopak.

Když mladá panteřice Mau zjistí, že má neuvěřitelnou schopnost, a jako zvíře noci dokáže být vzhůru i přes den, změní jí to život. Protože je jiná než ostatní, smečka ji vyžene a ona se ocitne sama uprostřed pralesa. Brzy ale najde kamarády, se kterými ji spojuje stejné nadání. Mau, hroznýš Auriel, netopýřice Lima, žabák Rumi a opičák Gogi brzy přijdou na to, že jejich setkání není dílem náhody. V pralese se totiž začala probouzet zlá Mravenčí královna, po léta vězněná ve staré pyramidě, a chystá se ovládnout svět. Dokážou ji zastavit?
