Set in an anthropomorphic world, The Herd is an ongoing superhero comedy that equally focuses on the characters regular lives as well as their superhero alter egos. Fox Canidae (a fox) runs a family business that’s been the foundation for Maple City’s development for generations. Partnering with his best friend, Jack LePori (a jackrabbit), the Foxy Fruits company continues to be the backbone of Maple City’s economy. Foxy Fruits provides a range of natural products based on fruit and vegetables such as healthy foods, beauty and hygiene products, edible furniture, but most of all, exceptionally delicious juice beverages.

Fox lives with his wife, Dr. Vixie Canidae, Ph.D. (also a fox) and their adopted son Kit (an arctic fox and a student). Life in the sprawling forest metropolis of Maple City is good and peaceful. Outside of Maple City, however, is the desolate and dangerous Preylands. A desert wasteland no one dares to venture out to. These lands belong to a criminal gang known as The Pack. Lead by the evil criminal mastermind, Count Cromwell Von Vultra McDoom (a vulture), they’re notorious for trying to gain territory in Maple City through diabolical means.

Their most recent plot has their brilliant scientist Professor Doctor Monkey-Shine (a baboon) working for Foxy Fruits’ research and development department. After a few years of establishing trust within the company, he gained access to the Foxy Fruits’ secret recipe. This recipe is what gives Foxy Fruits their signature flavor and has been kept a secret from anyone outside the Canidae bloodline. Monkey-Shine developed a formula that requires the Foxy Fruits’ secret recipe as the active ingredient which turns his formula into a Super Serum. When consumed, it will give The Pack powerful abilities that will enable them to invade and take control of Maple City.

Later that evening while a new limited edition juice product is being bottled, Monkey-Shine is forced by The Pack to test the Super Serum on himself first. After it causes an unexpected reaction, Monkey-Shine accidentally drops the vile of the Super Serum into the vat of new juice product; causing the entire line to be contaminated. Gone mad with powers he doesn’t understand how to control, Monkey-Shine disappears into the night leaving the factory destroyed. The next morning, Fox and Jack learn of the damage to the factory and that Professor Doctor Monkey-Shine is missing; but are unaware of their contaminated juice product. Adding insult to injury, a launch event for the new juice is held later that day; quickly spreading the juice throughout the city. The following morning symptoms take hold and cause every citizen that drank the juice to have weird supernatural abilities. Maple City is never the same again.
