John McKenna is a spiritual being who can transform into a bear, wolf, or eagle. He lives in Tanglewood's forests and has dedicated his life to protecting them. One day, a gang of evil lumberjacks led by Travis Thorne arrives in Tanglewood to clear the forest. McKenna will not let this happen, and he fights Thorne and his evil gang with the help of his new friends, the Lords of the Tanglewood, a band of children who enjoy playing in the forest.
