While taking the mail to the recycle bin Ken discovers three cats, who are historical deities, have invited themselves into his living room. The cats are intent on dividing the world into three pieces, destroying it in the process. Unexpectedly, Leaf Basil’s dog Planet points out how the math for dividing the Earth will not work and saves the day.

Frustrated by a bad experience with an automated self-checkout in the grocery store, Ken ignores messages he receives from a future version of himself to modify his behaviour when interacting with the store’s artificial intelligence system, or become the cause of the end of the world as we know it.

Leaf and Planet discover they are in a pocket universe which has been created by the anxiety Ken has rubbed into his favourite rock over decades of use. The only way to escape is to convince Ken that the world around them is just an illusion before it collapses into nothing, but Ken is unwilling to cooperate.

While investigating a complaint about an oversized house, which mysteriously appeared in his neighbourhood, Ken meets the eccentric and angry owner who rather than conforming to city building codes tries to bribe Ken by granting him four wishes. At first, Ken dismisses the peculiar home owner’s suggestion as nonsense but soon learns, when a careless wish threatens to consume Leaf’s backyard greenhouse and the entire neighbourhood, that the homeowner is more than what he seems. To save Leaf’s heirloom tomatoes Ken is forced to make a carefully worded wish, but the results are not exactly as in intended.

While on a tour of Space Park in California, Ken Likeley is given a rather odd souvenir by an annoying member of his tour group. Ken thinks nothing of it until an extraterrestrial turns up at his house claiming to be from the asteroid Oumuamua and demands Ken turn the souvenir over to it. Ken refuses until Planet, Ken’s neighbour’s dog, takes control of the situation.
