The movie follows the adventures of Surly, a squirrel ([[ItsAllAboutMe who only looks out for himself]]) who is banished from the park he lives in after he accidentally destroys the other animals' food supply for winter after one of his many thefts goes awry. Forced to survive in the city, he and his rat friend [[TheVoiceless Buddy]] come across a nut shop and plan a heist of epic proportions, even if it means getting the other park animals to help out before the winter weather arrives. Elsewhere, the owners of the nut shop are planning their own heist: to rob the bank across the street. It's a race against time to see who can pull off their heist first.
