Octopus Dave yearns for a friend, but he can't seem to stop scaring the fish away. Being an octopus is tough when everyone thinks you want to eat them. He has another problem, too-unstoppable heart farts! Just when it all seems hopeless, he runs into another lonely creature, Starfish Sink, who has some quirks of his own. Starfish Sink can't help but sing when he talks and it is off-key. He annoys everyone he meets and feels like the loneliest creature in the sea until one day he meets Octopus Dave!

Octopus Dave's unusual heart farts intrigue Starfish Sink, and Octopus Dave is excited to meet a friend. Once Starfish Sink introduces himself Octopus Dave has second thoughts and isn't sure if he can stand to be around someone that can't stop singing. When Octopus Dave puts aside his own judgments, they form an unlikely friendship full of joy.
