Krag has led the Hopwas Wood badger sett for many years but this spring brings new difficulties for the wise old badger. First, Baal, a younger and fiercer badger challenges leadership of the colony and then Jenkins, the trusted local gamekeeper, is replaced by cruel and dangerous Reuben who is determined to trap the badgers - at a nice price for himself. It's up to Krag to lead his sett to safety, and to protect himself and his family from this hostile opposition. But he's old and tired, and weary of the fight. Will this year be just too much for him?
