The action takes place at night on the beach in a big gale and with a rapidly incoming tide, as well as in the wood where Badger meets a hostile neighbour as he attempts to enlist the help of all his friends. All four animals are severely tested. Teamwork, ingenuity and tenacity are needed. Can land animals adapt to the seaside environment and conquer the enemy? Can they all remain friends? Who was the true villain anyway? Was it actually the humans who caused the problem in the first place?
