Deep in the wilds of Scotland, land of ancient warrior kings and myths, there is a deep secret. The secret is a colony of beavers, a species that is craved for their fur pelts, but vilified for what humans consider to be the destruction of their land. No beaver has been spotted in Scotland or England for over five hundred years, until the young beaver, Dunwattle, is sighted!
Dunwattle's flight is driven by the presence of a ghostly figure, a figure of a mysterious young girl who is almost one thousand years old. And now Dunwattle is destined to be destroyed for revealing the hidden colony, but his best friend Locksley is determined to save him. Will their ancient beaver colony survive?

- A Centuries-Old Secret: For five hundred years, the beaver colony of Glendunny has remained hidden from humans. When young Dunwattle is spotted, he breaks their most sacred law and risks everything.
- A Mysterious Haunting: Dunwattle's flight is sparked by the appearance of a ghostly girl nearly a thousand years old. What does she want, and what is the true secret of Glendunny?
- A Story of Heroism and Loyalty: With Dunwattle's life on the line, his best friend Locksley must find the courage to challenge the colony's ancient rules and save him from a terrible fate.
