Maya, known for her blonde bob and three distinctive spots on her nose, is part of a complicated extended family of macaque monkeys living among ancient ruins in the storied jungles of South Asia. Clever and resourceful, Maya’s a quick learner who’s willing work hard and take risks—especially if it means securing a bright future for her new son, Kip.

Kip, Maya’s precocious and playful son, is learning how best to navigate his world, where important elder macaque monkeys can be quick to put him in his place, if necessary. But thanks to his mom’s clever tactics, Kip receives valuable nourishment and an unmatched education—priming him to reign over his own troop someday.

Raja is the alpha male of the Castle Rock macaques, primarily responsible for protecting the monkeys within his domain. Stationed high in the troop’s prized fig tree, Raja has the perfect vantage point to spot danger, warn his troop and discourage potential threats–not to mention an easy reach to the ripest figs.

The Sisterhood is a trio of macaque monkeys with bright red faces. Thanks to their privileged status among the group, they control the day-to-day activities of the Castle Rock macaques, which makes life for the Sisterhood quite pleasant. They’re not the friendliest bunch, but they are loyal—to each other.

Kumar is a bright up-and-coming male who arrives at the troop's front door hoping for a way in. Known more for his brains than his brawn, Kumar slowly earns the respect of the Castle Rock macaques—and the heart of Maya.
