Compelled to lead a group of hench-critters to an old house said to contain a vast store of acorns in the attic, Asher discovers the job isn't as simple as he thought. The heist quickly goes wrong, as they learn that the owner was a hoarder, and soon towering piles of old newspapers, puddles of sewage, and the house's animal inhabitants-a mix of pets, strays, and wildlife-who all worship a Death God, all stand in the way Asher's bushy-tailed crew and freedom.
