Spoilers ahead
In a time long past, storks were believed to hold a legendary role in bringing new life into the world. They crafted babies in a grand factory and used magical beacons to deliver them to couples in need. However, a rebellious stork named Jasper put an end to this tradition when he defied orders by refusing to deliver a baby he had vowed to protect. By destroying her beacon, he unwittingly left her orphaned. This pivotal moment ignited the ambition of another stork, Hunter, who sought to transform the stork delivery business into a package delivery service, abandoning babies altogether.
