The group must work as a team to overcome attacks by a hungry jackal mother, raise litters of vulnerable pups and survive the rainless months that cause their food supply to dwindle. Only through co-operation can the family pull through the hard times and witness the arrival of the "Big Green", an occurence that turns the dry desert into a lush paradise for all animals.
