About
Mat, a young rat, is willing to risk everything for love. Determined to reunite with Nat, a pet mouse, he secretly ventures to the upper floors of "the Giants" house. Longing for a new life on the "Outside", Mat's actions and the dark secrets harbored by his commune put both their lives in danger.
Meet Mat, a young rat whose simple life in an abandoned wine cellar with his best friend, Toby, is turned upside down when he falls head over tail in love with Nat, a clever house mouse who is kept as a pet by one of the Giants on the upper floors of the building.
Bitten by the love bug, Mat sets out on a perilous journey to become a Scavenger, just so he can sneak up and secretly visit his beloved. Despite coming from different worlds, their dream is to start a new life outside the rat commune. However, the cellar holds secrets. Yet, Mat's reckless confidence and the community's hidden, unsettling truths put their lives in great danger.
Help Mat navigate the maze of hidden dangers and witness the lengths he is willing to go to for love.
