Meilin “Mei” Lee, a 13-year-old Chinese-Canadian living in Toronto in 2002, is the subject of this story. To please her overprotective mother, Ming, Mei helps maintain the Lee family’s temple to their ancestor, Sun Yee. The fact that she, along with her best friends Miriam, Priya, and Abby, are fans of the boy band 4*Town is something she attempts to keep hidden from Ming.
Mei had a nightmare and wakes up the next morning to find that she has transformed into a giant red panda. To her parents, Mei appears to be distressed because of her first menstruation; in fact, Mei only changes when she is in a condition of intense emotional stress. A few months later, Ming discovers that Mei’s transformation was triggered by an accidental embarrassment at school.

Red panda spirit must be bound in talisman on night of the Red Moon, a month from now, because this has grown harmful and bothersome. As a result of her friends accidentally discovering her metamorphosis, Mei is unable to change due to her focus on them. After convincing her parents that she should be able to lead a regular lifestyle, Mei continues to be monitored by Ming.

When Ming learns about Mei’s recent antics, she confronts her pals, accusing them of corrupting and using her. As a result of her embarrassment and fear of confronting Ming, Mei fails to defend her companions.
Grandmother Wu and her aunts arrive to help Mei with the ceremony, but Mei decides to maintain her abilities as the red panda form is about to be sealed. As a result, she forgoes the ceremony in favor of attending 4*Town’s show in the SkyDome, where she meets Tyler and learns that the two of them are fans of the band. As a result of Mei accidentally damaging her mother’s talisman during her escape from the temple, an irate Ming transforms into a kaiju-sized red panda and disrupts the performance in an attempt to reclaim her daughter.

Family members arrive to lend a hand. Using their red panda forms, all of the ladies dismantle their talismans to aid Ming enter a new ceremonial circle. Mei’s friends and 4*Town sing as the new ceremony takes Mei, Ming, and the other ladies into the etheric realm. ” Mei reconciles with Ming and aids Ming in repairing her relationship with Wu, which had been the driving force behind Ming’s meticulousness.
