Maki is a chameleon who lives alone in the beautiful İnci Cove and is extremely happy there. He watches over the cove like a hawk and does not allow anyone but birds to enter. One morning, he wakes up to find trash thrown into the cove. He throws the trash away, but when he returns, he sees that more trash has been thrown in. The next day, it happens again and again... Maki is tired and very angry. Since she cannot fight the trash alone, she is forced to start looking for her friends. However, some of them are just waking up from hibernation, while others have migrated. Some don't want to come because they were once angry with Maki, while others are too busy. Maki grows weary from collecting trash alone every day and ponders how to call his friends for help. Thanks to a music festival brochure that catches his eye, he figures out how to attract the animals there.
