Inspiring and invigorating, this thrilling adventure traces the twists and turns in the life of Frankie, a savvy and smart squirrel, who finds himself locked up in a rehabilitation zoo. After successfully escaping from the zoo, Frankie returns to his forest and is shocked by the changes.
He learns from his dim-witted best friend, Cody, a porcupine and street-con, that while he was in lock-up, the entire forest was picked clean by The A.C.O.R.N.S. Institute (Alternative Cosmetic Oils for Regenerative Natural Skin-care). No acorn was left behind.
With winter just around the corner, it's a potentially devastating blow to all forest critters. So, Frankie has no choice but to secretly gain entry into the brand new, state-of-the-art, rodent-proof A.C.O.R.N.S. Processing Plant and take back all of the acorns!
Though a seemingly impossible heist, success would not only save the lives of his forest friends, but it would also give Frankie a chance to win back the love of his life, Lola, a local 'show squirrel'. Sadly, Lola has been burnt by too many of Frankie's false promises in the past and is unwilling to place her faith in him ever again. With the support of Frankie's old mentor, Mr. Bellwood, a wealthy badger, Frankie and Cody must embark on an ultimate battle for survival. Will they be successful in their mission? And, can Frankie will Lola's trust and love once more?
