Iris Oakley, pregnant and still recovering from her husband's murder, wants only to carry on as a keeper at Finley Memorial Zoo in Vancouver, Washington. But she is confronted with a terrifying situation: alone and with no elephant expertise, she must rescue her boss, Kevin Wallace, from being mauled by a zoo elephant.

No one understands why reliable old elephant, Damrey, attacked the foreman, and Iris inadvertently misdirects the investigation. Rattled coworkers nominate Iris to find out what's going on. She finds a surprising number of motives to kill the foreman, but the elephant doesn't have one.

Despite the distraction of trying to construct her new life as a single mother, Iris discovers that the elephant keepers are locked in a bitter feud, the new veterinarian is keeping secrets, and an old flame still hates Wallace.

A new foreman shows up with alarming ideas, the police keep dropping by, and animals are disappearing into thin air...
