Have you ever wished upon a shooting star, hoping your wildest dreams would come true? For one lucky kid, that wish actually lands right in their backyard. Meet Whizziwig, a small, friendly, and completely hilarious alien who has accidentally crash landed on Earth.
Whizziwig is not your average space creature. This amazing little alien has the incredible power to grant wishes to anyone they meet. But as you can probably guess, having your wishes granted by an alien who does not quite understand how Earth works can lead to some massive mix ups.
From turning ordinary objects into ridiculous new inventions to causing absolute chaos in the neighborhood, every single wish seems to go hilariously wrong. Now, it is a race against time to fix all the magical mistakes, hide the alien from nosy neighbors, and help Whizziwig find a way to repair their spaceship so they can finally fly back home to the stars.
