Nigel is your average 13-year-old boy from Chipton. He loves comics and video games, listening to heavy metal and obsessing over his classmate Martha. And he spends most of his time solving mysteries with his best friend Brian, a dinosaur with twin-mounted laser cannons on his back. Called into action by moustachioed madman Lancaster Perrifold, they are launched into the hunt for The Miracle Bird of Ndundoo: a mythical jewel-excreting creature living deep below the planet's crust. Racing against the clock, the Jurassic duo must beat nefarious adversaries.
