Some people say crows are evil. Some say they bring death and disease. Some say they are omens of bad luck. But Ash knows better.

Kevin, the crow who Ash saved as a chick, is a friend. A friend who understands when Ash feels sad or lonely. And a friend who knows about Ash's special place - the Crow Tree. It’s where Kevin lives and where Ash goes to escape his worries.

But when developers arrive to cut down the Crow Tree and build on the field, will Ash be brave enough to speak out... before it’s too late?
