When Dr Jennifer Niederhauser becomes head of the chimpanzee project at Prowdes Animal Sanctuary, the uptight young zoologist is looking forward to making her mark in the conservation world. But the ramshackle regime at Prowdes seems set to defeat her. The chimpanzees are uncontrollable. And the keepers are wilder than the chimps.
When Jennifer first sets eyes on her deputy he is half-naked and covered in baby oil. How can she take Guy Gibson seriously after that? Jennifer decides never to work with animals or the childish again - but she may not have a job for much longer anyway - Prowdes is in big financial trouble.
Salvation comes in the form of a documentary team who want to film the sanctuary's most recent arrival, Ulysses. Prowdes definitely needs the money and exposure. But does Jennifer need to be exposed to the show's smooth presenter, chimpanzee expert Dr Timothy Lauder? Who is also, unfortunately, her ex . . .
