Two lab dogs flee. One fox guides them. The world labels them plague-spreaders. And now they're on the run—hunted by humans, the media, and their own traumatized minds.
Rowf, a black mongrel, and Snitter, a fox terrier with brain surgery nightmares, break free from a cruel experimental lab in the Lake District. With the help of a street-smart Geordie-voiced fox, they struggle to survive in the wild, facing hunger, fear, and haunting human guilt.
But a sensationalist reporter spins their escape into a bioweapon scare—sparking a manhunt that puts their very existence at risk.
