He lives with his mother on the Caribbean island of "Trinidad"; he's passionate about wildlife conservation and has a crush on the prettiest girl in his class.However, one fateful day, Kaya's life is changed forever when he encounters "Papa Bois," a folklore character similar to the Greek god, Pan.
