In the depths of a long and peculiar winter, a group of house mice finds itself battling for survival. The once-abundant humans have vanished, the sun's rays are scarce, and a cold, dark rain permeates every inch of the surrounding environment. The mice, accustomed to relying on human sustenance, clings stubbornly to their old habits, scavenging through the nearby abandoned houses in search of any remnants they can scrounge. Once, there was an abundance of food to be had, but now the scavengers return empty-handed, or worse, not at all.

Food becomes scarce, and danger lurks around every corner. Poison and traps lie in wait within the dark confines of cupboards, and a pack of feral cats relentlessly pursues the mice whenever they venture beyond the safety of their nests. Even more unsettling rumors circulate, suggesting the presence of a hawk joining the relentless hunt.

As supplies dwindle and numerous mice fall ill, desperation sets in. With the colony teetering on the brink of collapse, whispers of a wrecked truck laden with food offer a glimmer of hope, but it lies far beyond the forest, a place even the cats dare not tread.
