When tasked with watching their friend’s little sister, Annie Rabbit, an unexpected accident at Shepherd’s Creek forces them into a life-or-death situation. As Annie is swept away by the rushing water, Clumpas must summon his inner strength to rescue her, while Chazmak faces his fears in a different way.
