A boy discovers two ancient squirrels who have been frozen in time for nearly 2,000 years and must navigate the challenges of modern life with their help.

These quirky creatures, who lived during Jesus's time, bring wisdom from the Sermon on the Mount to help Michael and his friends face a school bully.
