A lighthearted comedy about misfits saving a zoo through absurd deception, balancing whimsy with workplace drama and eventual moral reckoning.

A lawyer is given the mission of revitalising a bankrupt zoo that has no animals. When he and a group of zookeepers come up with the idea to dress like animals and his fake polar bear goes viral, the zoo becomes a hit, before his law firm’s real intentions are revealed.
