Following the death of his wife, a boston newspaper columnist (the father of 13-year-old boy and 6-year-old girl) buys a dilapidated new hampshire zoo in hopes of making a new start. Against enormous odds, he and his children, working with a small but loyal staff, not only make the improvements needed to get the zoo certified, but come to terms with their loss. (20th Century Fox AU)
