The rambunctious rabbit, Peter, gets more than he bargained for when he sneaks into Farmer MacGregor's garden in this updated version of the childhood classic. This time around Mama Rabbit is a single parent trying her best to provide for her children Flopsy, Mopsy, Cottontail and Peter. But Peter's "Bun from the Hood" lifestyle is too much for Mama to handle and no matter how hard she tries, he continues to follow in the felonious footsteps of his late father.
