A scheming raccoon fools
a family of forest creatures into helping him repay a debt of food, by invading
the new suburban sprawl that popped up while they were hibernating. Traveling
raccoon con artist, RJ arrives in a woods outside a human city in the Midwest,
excited about the wonders that living near humans can bring hungry animals. What
he finds, however, is an community that is deathly afraid of humans, after their
leader, Vern the tortoise, has an encounter with human boys that terrifies him.
Encouraged by RJ, however, the animals slowly venture over the hedge that
separates them from the brand new suburban development that appeared over the
winter while they were sleeping, and what RJ shows them is a whole new world
where humans leave tin cans full of fish and other food in big canisters, ripe
for the taking. As they get closer and closer to humans, however, their
comfortable lives in the woods appears to be threatened.
