In a lighthouse by the sea, siblings Lila and Whistler, two adventurous mice, yearn to explore the enigmatic forest nearby. With their parents' blessing, they embark on a journey filled with wonder and unexpected discoveries.

Along the way, they encounter enchantment and forge a new friendship, but will they find their way back home?
