Description: Chloe and her mother, Catherine, move to Detroit, much to Chloe’s disappointment. She feels unsettled after discovering a collection of gnomes scattered around their new house and decides to give one to her shy neighbor, Liam. While having dinner, Chloe hears strange noises from the kitchen and uncovers a hidden room containing a glowing green gem. She takes it and turns it into a necklace, unaware that her actions have opened a portal in the basement, releasing a group of vicious creatures called Troggs.
At school, Chloe befriends a popular girl named Brittany and her friends, Chelsea and Tiffany. Brittany becomes intrigued by the necklace, and Chloe gifts it to her in hopes of gaining social acceptance. Meanwhile, back at home, Chloe encounters a Trogg and attempts to destroy it with various objects, but it devours everything she throws at it. The creature is eventually eliminated by an unseen force.
The next day, Chloe’s mother announces she will be working extra hours, leaving Chloe alone. The gnomes, led by Zook, confront Chloe about the “Keystone,” explaining that the necklace is essential to prevent the Troggs from invading their realm. A Trogg interrupts their discussion, but Zook reveals that music is their weakness and uses an ooze blaster to send it back to its dimension. Liam witnesses the event and joins Chloe in the fight against the Troggs.
Chloe tries to retrieve the necklace from Brittany but fails. The gnomes retreat to their hideout, where the Keystone was originally kept, and declare a code red, locking themselves in the house to stop the Troggs from escaping into the outside world. Quicksilver, one of the gnomes, explains that the Troggs became their enemies after destroying the life force the gnomes depended on. With the Keystone, the gnomes have managed to keep the Troggs’ portals closed.
Zook shares the story of Zamfeer, the former gnome leader who ventured into the Trogg realm to destroy it but never returned. With limited resources, Chloe, Liam, and the gnomes work together to fend off the Troggs and protect their world.
