Out on a West-Texas ranch, where dry-bed creeks wind through mesquite and cottonwood, the night comes alive with rustling brush, the hoot of owls, and the soft crunch of hooves on sandy soil. SlackJaw, a cautious young deer, slips from the brush in search of an easy meal at the old corn feeder. He expects a quiet snack beneath the stars, but instead he's met by the Grubbins, three raccoon siblings with quick paws, louder opinions, and a knack for turning an ordinary night into a noisy commotion.
