When an anteater, an elephant, a turtle and a flamingo go over the wall, the adventure begins. For this unlikely band of escapees dare to do what so few have dared - break out of City Zoo! Hot on their heels come the zoo keepers, but their quest for a new life - a better life - knows no bounds.
Can the anteater, elephant, turtle and flamingo escape their past, or does every twist in the road only lead them back . . . to City Zoo?
