Melchior, Caspar, and Balthazar fall in love with Estrella, a beautiful and mysterious young woman who is, in fact, not human but a millennia-old shooting star. She is hiding on Earth from her parents, and there is only one way for her to maintain the spell that makes her appear human: she must be loved by the king.
Melchior is the king. Caspar is the king. Balthazar is the king.
These three men rule the same kingdom at different times in their lives. Their childhood, adulthood, and old age intertwine in a flash-forward-and-backward narrative that revolves around this deceptive creature who never grows older—a girl who will never allow the king to stop loving her… or else she will simply find herself a new puppet king.

The problem is that once the king gives his heart to the shooting star, he will never be able to love anyone else again. Not even his own mother.
Completely defeated, the three men can only hope to save their souls with the help of the true protagonists of this tale: their mothers. Yes, three old ladies are about to kick a shooting star’s butt.
