Kentucky, a sleepless hen and star of social networks, finds out that animals fall asleep during total eclipses. With the help of her sidekick J.O.S., her robot personal assistant, she travels through space-time in search of the perfect eclipse, in the hope of finding sleep at last. On her journey, she discovers all that needs to happen before you can observe this unique phenomenon.
