Lingmere Zoo in the north of England is about to close. A home for the zoo's twin lionesses, Lorna and Ellen, must be found - or else they will be put down. The newspapers take up the cause and a sanctuary in Africa is found that will care for the lions until they are able to fend for themselves. But on the way, Lorna bolts and Ellen is off to Africa on her own. Now separated, the twins must come to terms with the different conditions they find themselves.
