Jeremy has just moved with his parents and older brother to a house in the country, it's only temporary due to his father's job. But not long after moving in Jeremy notices strange figures in the forest just past the bottom of the garden. His curiosity grows as does that of the unknown creatures who reside in the woods.
Jeremy soon befriends one of the strange creatures one night when it suddenly appears in his bedroom. Jeremy soon learns that their home in the forest is under threat from a house developer who plans to rip it all down and the neighbouring farm to make way for houses. But the creatures don't want their presence to be known to people, so Jeremy now needs to think of a way to stop the developers before its too late and also try to keep the Furnicles a secret too.
