After 20 years in the bush, caring for wild animals, Victor returns to France and takes a job managing a nature preserve, in hopes of getting closer to his kids and reconquering his ex-wife. As the kids, aged 10 and 15, get used to their full-time dad, Victor must readjust to life in the Western world, with its supermarkets and traffic jams, as he deals with the challenges of his job: whether trying to bust a gibbons trafficking ring, dealing with a budget crisis, saving an endangered baby chimp's life or finding out who is trying to poison the animals - Life is never dull at the nature preserve.
