After a chance encounter with a bear, Morgan finally makes up his mind: he must leave the forest and find a friend who won't be frightenend of him. Nervous, but full of curiosity, Morgan decides to follow his dream and go on a journey to make friends with a human.

As he leaves his mountain home, he faces new obtacles and dangers, like powerfull waterfalls, noisy roads, and speedy cars. At times, he thinks of turning back and giving up on his dream, but Morgan is no quitter. His courage is strong, and he's determined to find a friend and make a new life outside of the forest. Soon, he finds himself nearing human civilization. When he hears the cries of a young girl in trouble, will Morgan be able to help her -- and finally make a human friend?
