Two tiny human-like creatures, adventure from their small, hidden world under the board walk at Bald Rock at Cheaha State Park in Alabama, sneak into the world of the giant humans around them. But the venture results in captivity, and a movement far beyond personal abilities to travel back without seeking the assistance of the giant humans. They befriend a boy; spend seven months getting to know him, secretly seeking his family’s help without their knowledge, and plot a path that will return them to Cheaha State Park before disaster happens to them. Will they return to the world of responsibilities they left behind? While stuck in Calera, Alabama for that time period, they explore the humans, their strange activities, such as capturing a swarm of honey bees, to going to an elementary school to see how humans educate themselves, and beyond. It’s a story of faith, trust, endurance, and hope for a better future of two small creatures in love and enduring their mishaps together, and never giving up.
