At a pet store near you, crickets in a plastic rectangular box live. A society run by crickets. They fear as a god called "scooper" takes some of them away never to be seen again. Fed to the dragons (lizards) as food. But the crickets don't know that. Some crickets think the god takes them to a good place. But not Fred, he and his brother Mikey think it's bad. They took away their older brother Jerry a long time ago. At the last second Jerry fell from the scooper onto the floor of the outside world. Mikey and Fred decide to find Jerry. Although they fail and get taken to a dragon's (lizard's) lair for food. It's eat or be eaten... who will survive?
