Created and directed by Dan Ojari (Slow Derek) and Mikey Please (The Eagleman Stag), the film follows Robin, who is raised by a loving family of burglar mice after her egg fortuitously rolls into a rubbish dump.

As she grows up, her differences become more apparent and Robin sets off on the heist to end all heists to prove to her family that she can be a really good mouse – but ends up discovering who she really is.
