Sunnyville is a happy little town that has everything it needs. But one day, trouble arrives. When a sudden landslide cuts off all its power, water and fresh food deliveries, it’s up to a few curious and smart kids to find the solutions. Maya, Ana and Scotty head to the hills to explore, finding inspiration in the world around them.

When Maya spots a certain beetle, she has a great idea to find fresh water. Ana learns the best way to grow fresh vegetables with compost, and Scotty has an idea for generating and storing electricity. After trying a few times, they each find a solution to improve the town!

With inspiration from nature, a knack for engineering and a dash of determination, this is the story of how a handful of smart kids save Sunnyville.
