The Thornberry Family is not quite so-average. They travel all around the world in a caravan, because the father, Nigel, is a nature show host and the mother, Marianne, runs the camera. They have three kids: The eldest daughter, Debbie, who is emo and cynical because she wants to live a "normal" life; their youngest adopted son, Donnie, who was raised in the wild; and the middle child, Eliza. They also adopted a chimp named Darwin, who grew up in a condo with other humans. One day, Eliza rescues a warthog from a trap that turned to be a shaman in disguise. As a token of his gratitude, he gives the ability to talk to animals. As long as she keeps it secret. When a threat ensues upon the family, Eliza must wonder if she should admit she has a power.
