Benjamin Mee è un giornalista temerario che scrive di avventure e di esperienze estreme. Padre appassionato di una bambina e di un adolescente ha perso la moglie da pochi mesi e prova a conciliare lavoro e questioni domestiche. Il dolore dei suoi figli e l'incapacità di vivere una casa e una città che lo hanno visto felice lo convincono a licenziarsi e a comprarne una in campagna, a nove miglia dalla civiltà. Il nuovo alloggio comprende sette ettari di terreno e uno zoo affollato di animali e dei loro zelanti custodi. Deciso a cambiare vita e intenerito dall'entusiasmo della sua bambina, investe sul futuro e acquista l'intero pacchetto. Inizia per Benjamin una straordinaria avventura, questa volta da vivere.
