Vasco loves his life as a rat, living with his tribe down at the harbor. Food is plentiful, enemies are few, and friends are always close by. But when Vasco returns home one day to find his entire tribe killed by humans, he knows his old life is over. Finding two baby rats on his way out, Vasco is determined to start a new life where rats can survive without being constantly threatened by humans. Traveling further and further away from home, Vasco must make decisions that put not only his life in danger, but also the baby rats’ lives in danger as well.
