Animal fairy Fawn (Goodwin) has upset Pixie Hollow’s protectors, the scout fairies, by rescuing a baby falcon who inadvertently called in adult falcons and put all of the fairies in danger. Fawn promises Queen Clarion (Huston) that next time she finds a dangerous creature in need of help, she will think with her head and not her heart. However, when Fawn meets a grumpy beast the likes of which she has never seen, she quickly forgets her promise and names the creature Gruff.

Fawn eventually lets her friends Tinker Bell (Whitman), Silvermist (Liu), Vidia (Adlon), Iridessa (Raven-Symoné) and Rosetta (Hilty) meet Gruff. However when Fawn and her friends take Gruff to show Queen Clarion, they find that scout fairy Nyx (Dawson) has already learned of his existence, though not location or association with Fawn, and believes him to be a harbinger of doom.

Can Fawn make Nyx and Queen Clarion see what she sees in her new friend or will Gruff prove the protective scout fairies right?
