It has come. With Arznel free and vast animal migrations sweeping across the globe, the war to save Mother Earth from the throes of man is underway. In the midst of the chaos, where animals have become united and humans divided, Dreamer the fox and his motley companions are on their way to South America aboard their makeshift vessel, The Evergreen, pursued all the way by the forces of Richard Bromwell and facing storms, sharks, seasickness, and harrowing moral questions. Meanwhile, the once-pampered house pets?Patch, Hero, Chief, and Major'have joined the struggle, leaving behind the lives they once knew and fomenting the world's farm animals into action. How will the friends fare in environments they've never known'at sea, in battle? And how will mankind react to a crisis it caused but never saw coming?

There is a legend among the animals. Long ago, a great tiger, known as Arznel, led an uprising against the humans, in a bid to save the world from destruction. But Arznel was defeated, captured and never seen again. Hope remains, that one day he will be free, and the great revolution can begin anew. But where is Arznel? And who can rescue him? Dreamer, a young fox, embarks on a journey through the Irish countryside, in search of a new home. With him are Victor, the badger, and Rush, the hare. The three friends take refuge in the beautiful nature sanctuary of Lough Ine. Here, they discover the legend of Arznel, but before they can do anything to help him, they must first struggle with love, faith, adolescence, inter-species racism and . . . poachers.
