It's the time of the year for the long-awaited Concert of Lights in the close-knit community of Pond by The Rock. Like others, Lala and her sisters are equally excited about the upcoming event and preparing for it by making beautiful lanterns. Lala has even made a lantern for her friend Ari, who she knows will be busy weaving decorations for the event. Now that the time has come, everyone is waiting for the magical fireflies to arrive so the lanterns can be lit. But a tiny firefly named Lucy is nervous about performing in front of others because it is her first time. Once Lala and Ari hear about it, they are on the case.
