Undefined upon get Request in Backbone

I try to execute operation "PUT" using Backbone. It fetchs the records from the server. But neighter where nor get method does retrieve a solution (result of console.log of code below is thus [] ) which i can edit (using set) and can save.

Solution can be really simple but still don't realize what is wrong!

var Model = Backbone.Model.extend({
    idAttribute : "ID"
});
var TodosCollection = Backbone.Collection.extend({
        model : Model,
        url : myUrl
    });
var todos = new TodosCollection();
todos.fetch();

var todo = todos.where({
        ID : 2
    });
console.log(todo);
todo.set('Name', 'ChangedName');
todo.save();

You need to Parse the response and specify where your models are.

For better reference if someone stumbles on this. This could look something like

{ 
  "location": "UK",
  "users": [
      {id: "etc", name: "etc"},
      {id: "etc", name: "etc"},
      {id: "etc", name: "etc"}
  ]
  "someothermeta": "score",
  "foo": "bar"
}

Your parse function will then be:

parse: function(response) {
    return response.users;
 }
