Millhouse is a faint-hearted, hairless guinea pig. A great lover of all things theatrical, most especially the work of William Shakespeare, Milly longs for the limelight and someone to love. However, after the death of his beloved owner, Millhouse is abandoned to a neglected and dusty pet shop filled with other rodents - some rude, some odd, some cute and some downright frightening. Finding himself a reviled outcast, Millhouse sets about trying to find a way back to the theatre and in doing so experiences more drama than he could ever have imagined.
