A colorful, high-energy animated comedy about an unlikely friendship between a small-fish schemer and a vegetarian shark, built on warmth, humor, and the redemptive power of honesty.

Oscar is a small fish whose big aspirations often get him into trouble. Meanwhile, Lenny is a great white shark with a surprising secret that no sea creature would guess: He's a vegetarian. When a lie turns Oscar into an improbable hero and Lenny becomes an outcast, the two form an unlikely friendship.
