The rains have finally arrived in the Kalahari and the vast desert has never looked better. Cleo, the boss of this small group of wild meerkats has given birth to five new pups, but some of them quickly get lost or snatched away. Only the toughest survive here in the African desert.

In another cruel twist, Cleo’s young pup Ophelia got left behind on a foraging trip and was killed by one of the Kalahari’s most dangerous creatures, a Goshawk. The remaining three pups: Zeus, Daisy and Flo struggle to survice. Snakes and eagles are normally enemy number one for meerkats, but recently a much larger and more dangerous predator has moved into the area... a leopard.

The Gosa Gang have recently moved to a new home known as Fortress burrow. It is close to the Gosa Dam where a rival family of meerkats live. In the quest for territorial dominance, a major meerkat standoff resulted in both gangs losing a member of their tribe, but an amazing twist of fate lies ahead.

Recently Priscilla bought an adopted boy pup from a rival gang to the Gosa Burrow. Unfortunately his acceptance into the Gosa group was far from ideal. The rest of the gang went out and he was left alone at the burrow, struggling for his life after a scorpion attack and an invasion by a rival gang. The biggest challenge for everyone lies ahead: a lion moving into the area to look for food.

Summer has arrived. The Gang move to an area known as the Whispering Forest as it is the best place to find food at this time of year. However the grass is long and there are a number of predators lurking such as a leopard. Hutch wanders further from the group, meeting and falling in love with a female from the rival gang, but will their love be accepted?

Finally, the two rival gangs meet and a big battle ensues. The Gosa Gang are on their way home from the Whispering Forest and bump head on into their bitter enemies. In an attempt to get past them and move over the mountain a full on war breaks out. It is a life changing event for the pups, but everyone fights with all of their heart and soul for their team.
