A fairytale for grownups: For the mouse Muse, the town has a million problems—each one is a rat. Tonight, they catch her, and she’s barely saved by a boy named Kirk. But the whole town needs saving—the plague is spreading (a million rats, duh!). Kirk tries, only to find himself under attack by a different kind of rat. Then an unseen power playing ethereal music intervenes.
