What’s this story about?

A brand-new homeowner wants just one thing: a pet.
A dog, maybe. Or a cat.
What he gets instead: two moles.

What follows is a chain reaction of questionable decisions, dubious animal diets, overly enthusiastic digging sessions, an ever-growing appetite (for both moles and owner), and a mysterious organization that seems to have waited far too long for exactly this moment.

As strange tents appear in the backyard, neighbors suffer from sleep deprivation, and a hole emerges beneath your feet that gives geology the middle finger, one thing becomes clear:
This isn’t a pet problem. This is the origin of a catastrophe.
