The scientists who captured Rat, and his sister's mate Jerk, are searching for him-and show up at his human friend Collin's house. To save Jack, Collin and his mother take him to sanctuary. There, Jack meets Addy and other rescued squirrels, along with Horse and a group of barnyard animals.

If Jack wins, he'll have to run away from everything he knows If he loses, he will never be free.
