What do you do when you’ve always liked animals more than people and suddenly those animals are under threat? How do the decisions we make in a crisis shape our destiny? Sometimes our loyalty and commitment make us who we are. Sometimes we drink too many margaritas and go home with Ian Butterwick, giant otter expert and notorious zoo lothario… Until today the most dangerous event at the zoo was the Tapir’s caesarean section. But when a hurricane heads straight for Miami, Bonnie rushes to keep her animals safe. Across the world in the Yorkshire dales – Carol feels the repercussions. However, the danger turns out to be deeper and darker than the weather. An inventive comedy drama of humanity, courage and female friendship (And anteaters.)
