Think Over The Hedge meets Wind in the Willows

Somewhere in New England in our times, when the flying squirrels nut supply is threatened by loggers, our unlikely hero Duggan crosses the dangerous highway to find beechnuts in the forest. Winter's coming, it's time to fill those nut stores.

Duggan meets a bunch of animals living in a hut. Lilian the groundhog, Mr & Mrs Kennedy, the beavers, and Scurvy the magpie, give him a frosty welcome and when hillbilly gophers arrive, they have bigger things to worry about.

But everybody needs to eat and they raid the diner at the gas station, get hooked on snacks, and go down a sweet and dangerous path to find donuts.

Meanwhile, Duggan tries to cross the highway to get back to his hungry pals. Will he make it before they starve?
