The Zookeeper

At 34, Sam Metcalfe's life looks pretty complete. He has a good job as a zookeeper, where he cares for the primates and one ageing curmudgeon of a father figure, Jack Kinsley. At home Sam is mother, ambitious sister and adolescent nephew. Sam's best friend, Laurel, has been there for him since late childhood, and he is dating super-handsome Tim McAllister, a local newscaster. But Sam's seemingly ideal existence begins to unravel as life takes its toll on one after the other of the people in his life. 27/10/2005
