The Mallard duck family is stuck in the daily grind. While father Mack (Elyas M'Barek) is content to keep his family circling the same pond forever, mother Pam wants to try something new and see the big wide world with her children - teenage son Dax and duckling Gwen. When a family of migrating ducks lands on her pond, with exciting stories of faraway places in their luggage, Pam persuades Mack to take a trip with the cranky Uncle Dan via New York City to tropical Jamaica.

But when the Mallards make their way south, their well-laid plans are quickly thrown into disarray. The new experiences will inspire them to broaden their horizons, open up to new friends and achieve more than they ever dared to dream.
