Vincent is a mouse who carries a house on his back. One day, he spots an ordinary hill with a well-traveled path, and he decides to take off his house and settle in. Soon enough, travelers start to come across his house, and Vincent offers them a place to rest. Will this generous mouse have enough room to help all the animals he encounters?
