Invaders’ flags fly over the holy city, casting twin brothers Sanu and Jab in their shadow.

They want to win freedom for their countryrodents, but as orphaned twelve-year-old squirrels, they feel more helpless than ever.

Sanu vows to train with their dad’s scimitar to fight the occupying enemy. He hears rumors that a great liberator has an army coming to save them. Sanu plans to join them, and his wimpy brother won’t get in his way.

Jab is left with their mother’s prayer rock and holy books. He can’t believe his reckless twin wants to charge into the fray and get himself killed. If everyone could sit down and talk out their differences, the invaders would surrender the holy city and go home.

War stretches its dark paws over Sanu and Jab’s hometown, and, caught in crossfire, they watch each other fall in battle. Both twins believe the other has died, and each is saved by soldiers from opposite camps. Joining those he once called enemy, Sanu works toward peace in Jab’s memory. Enraged by the loss of Sanu, Jab trains with a crossbow to avenge his brother and enact justice on the colonizers.They are BROTHERS DIVIDED.
