The Grounds

A selfish, young raccoon has always enjoyed living off the trash from a posh neighborhood. But when a mysterious disease sweeps through the human community, his supply of garbage is oddly replaced with used coffee grounds. To find food, he must face a changing world, an overprotective dog, and a woman who is more like him than he realizes.
