The series follows the adventures of Glibín and Ribín, two "alien" croílín siblings who live in the centre of the earth. When their tunnelling machine breaks down just underneath a residential street, they befriend a trio of insects—Cicí, Rocco and Dris—who have formed a rock band.[2]

A picture book based on the series, Saol faoi Shráid: An Giotár Nua (The New Guitar) by Patricia Forde and Kevin O'Boyle was published by Cló Iar-Chonnacht in August 2015.[3]
