Synopsis:
Recently moved to a new city, 10-year-old Lucas Nickle has not made any friends. To make things worse, the neighborhood bully Steve does not give up any opportunity to push him around. Being teased and isolated, he in turn vents his frustration by picking on and destroying his backyard ant hills.

What Lucas is not aware of is that the ants he bullies are members of a complex society, with structures, names and relationship, responsibilities and emotions. With no more tolerance to Lucas the Destroyer's barbarian act, the wizard ant Zoc creates a magic potion that shrinks Lucas down to ant size. Lucas is then brought to the ant hills where he is tried and sentenced to be living among the ants. Through scary expeditions and experiences, he starts to develop friendships with the ants.

However, Lucas' bonding with the ants is put to a test when the local exterminator, Stan Beals, comes to work. He is hired by Lucas to kill bugs when he was still his original size. Lucas and the ant colony are now facing the most gigantic enemy in the world.
