Mary Katherine or M.K. for short, has gone to live with her Dad, Bomba, after her Mum dies. Bomba is a mad scientist who believes that the forest is full of little people and it’s his life’s work to try and prove it. M.K. thinks he’s crazy and is about to return to the city when she stumbles into a battle between the good and evil forces of the little people in the forest.
