Kira and his friends are supposed to stay in the village and learn for the next exam. But they sneak out into the woods and meet feral Wargs, rock like Trolls, evil Grendel and strange Humans. They learn that their hidden village is an endangered isle of peace in a world filled with war and misery. 

Soon, their actions lead to unforeseen consequences. The Grendel become aware of their village. And they notice that there is more to its inhabitants than meets the eye.

Kira, his childhood friend Alice, the ingenious troublemaker Hagen and the Human girl Lily form a ragtag band that explore the Human cities and the forest.

Between the invading Grendel and the fleeing Humans, they have to find a way to keep each other safe. And the only thing that helps them is their friendship and the unlikely alliances they make on the way.
