Melancholy Meadows is underwater! When a broken water main results in a massive flood, all suspicions lie on Curdled and the Gang as the culprit. With the Farm's crops, reputation, and existence on the line, Curdled makes a seemingly impossible promise to drain the water and rescue Melancholy Meadows in 24 hours or he and his friends are banished! (He also has to get rid of a bunch of cats!)

After a rough first day, the gang is awakened early to be given a tour of the Farm by Moose - a self-proclaimed Jackalope. During which Morgan, Haggis, Connor, and Scrambled reflect on their first questionable night at Melancholy Meadows. Meanwhile, Curdled's recent discovery accidentally puts the Farm's future in jeopardy!

A group of zany, misfit animals, lead by Curdled the Cow, who are constantly being moved from farm to farm due to their crazy antics.

However, the tables turn when Curdled, and his fellow Farm Freaks begin to discover that this farm is equally eccentric and full of secrets!

The waters have parted, Melancholy Meadows is as it was, thanks to Morgan's spell! ...Or is it? Although the land was saved, the crops have tripled in size! Suspicions become accusations, and Curdled and the Gang are tasked to harvest their giant mess in time for the Festival. It's while the Gang is harvesting the crops that they begin to learn each others' deepest secrets, including what's been on everyone's mind - WHAT'S IN THE BOX?! Will it be full of riches? Will it be an ultimate power? Or will it be a complete disappointment? Perhaps the biggest question is - whose box is it?!
