While normal squirrels are out stashing nuts for winter, Shady loves collecting treasure. The shiny kind. The kind that belongs to someone else. Yes, Shady is a shameless crook, and that's exactly how he's landed back in Badun Island Prison. There's only one way out - escape! Unfortunately, tortoise crime boss Naughty Tortie wants Shady for her latest job: stealing the Golden Acorn of Destiny from Big City Bank. And Shady can't refuse. Reunited with his old partner in crime, Roxy 'the Paws' the raccoon - and a series of criminal critters who may be heroes or rivals - Shady is off on the mega-heist of his career. But will he actually get his paws on the loot? Starring a squirrel supervillain and a hilarious cast of unexpected animal crimelords.
