Read the complete plot breakdown of 10 Lives (2024), including all key story events, major twists, and the ending explained in detail. Discover what really happened—and what it all means.

As a kitten, Beckett is adopted by Rose, a student specialised in bees. Later, Rose receives the visit of Larry, her ex-boyfriend, who helps her find a solution to the problem of the recent death of numerous bees. Beckett is jealous and tries to make Larry leave the house but the cat loses his ninth life. Beckett pleads Grace, responsible for the afterlife of animals, to be allowed to return to his former life: the Gatekeeper allows him to return to earth with a new set of lives, but in a variety of different forms: badger, rat, cockroach, parrot, fish, dog and horse.

Meanwhile, Professor Craven, Grace’s lab director, tries to sabotage her studies so that he can sell his drone-bees universally. He repeatedly sends two thugs to destroy her bees and replace her vaccine samples. Eventually he sets a public presentation, during which he hopes Rose will prove her research was led in vain. But, this time as a bee, and subsequently as himself, Beckett manages to make Craven’s evil intentions clear and save the bees. He saves Rose, attacked by drone-bees, from drowning but looses his last life and is sent to Heaven.

Years pass and Beckett appears to eventually come back as a kitten, to be adopted by Larry and Rose’s young daughter named Beatrice.
