Sid is a rat working a dead-end job at a grocery store. But on the other side of the street is the ballet theatre Krasnyy Balet, The Red Ballet. He dreams of being on that stage with the graceful ballerinas and ballerinos, but who would want to see a pudgy rat flail around his thick ugly tail? Things change when he meets Emilio, the ibex goat stagehand who hides behind jokes and charm, and the intimidating bear Misha, whose family runs the ballet. In a world that does not look kindly on the big dreams of a small rodent, can Sid find his swan feathers, or will he remain simple prey for people stronger and more powerful than him?
