Mike is bored at home on a rainy day. Luckily, he can make his own fun! With nothing but his imagination (and some origami paper), Mike sets out on an epic journey through a jungle, across an ocean, and up the tallest mountain. Along the way, he encounters some new paper friends-Zoe the dog, Monkey, and Bird. Fold origami with Mike on his journey to save his newly folded friends from the monster...and maybe save the monster, too!
