Winnie Hart hits rock bottom when the entertainment industry dumps her after just three months. Desperate for rent money, she takes a janitorial gig at Southridge Zoo, only for the enclosure to erupt in chatter inside her head. A hefty Bengal tiger swindles keepers for prime cuts, cynical primates mock her single status, and an aristocratic crane insults human fashion. She suddenly realizes she possesses an uncanny supernatural gift to understand every creature on the grounds.
Her eccentric, reclusive boss showers her with unexplained bonuses while harboring an ancestral beast-whispering legacy and a long-standing private infatuation with her. When a televised documentary crew invades their sanctuary, Winnie turns the talkative menagerie into an overnight global sensation. As predatory park executives scheme to exploit her viral animals, she must protect her wild companions while confronting the handsome employer who has adored her all along.
