Dice la leyenda que son criaturas malévolas que suben a la superficie y se llevan a los niños... ¡y los quesos! Al menos, esto es lo que cree la gente. En realidad, los boxtrolls son tiernos y tímidos, seres extraños sí, pero inofensivos, llevan cajas recicladas al modo en que las tortugas llevan sus caparazones, y se aventuran por las calles de la ciudad en busca de cachivaches. Entre ellos vive un chico humano, Eggs, que ha sido criado como un boxtroll más. El villano Archibald Snatcher se ha fijado como objetivo erradicarlos…
