With the coming of spring, the Greater Garden Police Department has to deal with a hotbed of crime, where beer traps and predators threaten law-abiding snails. Officer Gowoon slogs her way through sticky cases, wary of the lightning-fast giants who roam the territory. Her acute sense of smell makes her the best sleuth of the service, which her hermaphrodite colleagues resent. She can count on her partner Zgouish for assistance, but his bad-slogger charm instills fuzzy feelings under her shell... Corruption and back-stabbing, danger and sexual tension... your backyard has never been so interesting! Fans of Watership Down, prepare for a whole new animal realm experience!
