Description

It's hard to make friends when you're a monster! A group of young monsters must learn cooperation and tolerance to overcome their differences in order to survive a hostile world without adult guidance. Having escaped from a crashed train full of cages below the earth, the various critters slowly come to trust each other as they flee those who would enslave them, and battle or outwit those who want to halt their bid for freedom.
