Synopsis:Waffles, a brilliant young calf with Asperger’s, has been living in hiding on Earth to escape the evil Shadow Herd — despotic yaks and cows bent on interstellar domination. Safely placed with kindly farmers who lovingly care for their cows, he enjoys a quiet life — until Sir Loin Moostache abducts him and a malfunction launches him across the galaxy. Waffles crash-lands on Bovinia, a planet threatened by the same enemy.

Rescued by Lil Mac and her team of rebel calves, Waffles’ mechanical genius is seen as the key to stopping Carve-L and the Shadow Herd’s plan to brainwash Bovinia’s population. Under their guidance, he trains in espionage and begins to understand the growing threat. Meanwhile, the Agents of C.O.W. help Sir Loin realize he’s been manipulated, prompting him to turn against his captors and aid Waffles in the fight.

As Carve-L accelerates his plan, Waffles and the team infiltrate labs, evade traps, and uncover the machinery designed to enslave the planet. With the rebels captured and time running out, Waffles must rely on the one thing he’s always doubted — his unique way of thinking — to sabotage the Shadow Herd’s machines, free the captives, and end Carve-L’s takeover.

In defeating the Shadow Herd, Waffles discovers that what makes him different is exactly what makes him a hero.
