Sid is a rat working a dead-end job at the corner store. But on the other side of the street is the ballet theatre, The Red Ballet. He dreams of being on that stage with the graceful ballerinas and ballerinas, but who would want to see a rat flail around his ugly tail?
His life starts to change when he meets Emilio, the easygoing goat stagehand, and the intimidating bear Misha, who runs the ballet.
In a world that does not look kindly on the big dreams of a small rodent, can Sid find his swan feathers, or will he remain the simple prey the world tells him he is?
And can he survive the dance of The Red Ballet's sinister secrets?
