Plot summary
Liberty Park's animals, led by Raccoon, rely on a giant tree for their winter food. Surly, a purple squirrel with a thieving reputation, and his rat partner Buddy are outcasts. When Andie and Grayson are sent to scavenge from a nut cart run by Lucky and Fingers, Surly and Buddy try to rob it too. A scuffle sends the cart into the tree, destroying the food supply, and Raccoon banishes Surly. In the city, Surly and Buddy find Maury's Nut Shop beside a bank. The shop is a hideout for Lucky, Fingers, their boss King, just out of jail, and Knuckles. King's girlfriend Lana thinks the shop is legitimate. Surly and Buddy plan to rob the store for themselves.
