This is the story of a colony of rats living on an island under the Forth Rail Bridge. Ruled over by an `inner circle' of evil fat rats, and in fear for their lives, a group of lowly `watchers' attempts to brave the stormy waters and scale the giant bridge in a bid for freedom. But celebrations for the bridge's centenary are about to begin.... will they make it?
