It’s the end of the school year — even for the zoo rangers. But not for long: through an exchange program, the rangers travel to vibrant Africa to help out at a wildlife park, caring for and protecting endangered animals. But when their plane crashes, they end up stranded in the middle of the wilderness — with no phone, no food, and no help. They’re left to face the laws of nature. The rangers quickly discover that life in the wild is very different from life in the zoo. And the dangers don’t stop with the wildlife — even the director of the wildlife park seems to have a dark side. In a desperate attempt to be found, the group splits in two. But when Bionda suddenly disappears, their African journey takes a completely unexpected turn. Now, the rangers have only one option left: to trust each other...

A drama set in the brutal world of Africa's ghettos, Bronx-Barbes opens with an introduction to Toussaint and Nixon, two teenaged friends who are out of work and commit petty thievery in order to eat. After accidentally murdering a ganglord one night, the two are taken under the wing of a group of thugs who populate the Bronx, a tough neighborhood run by a Mafia-like organization. Toussaint is able to scale the ranks of the neighborhood hierarchy, while Nixon ends up in jail for burglary, and is only released after Toussaint raises the money to free him. Eventually, the friends move on to Barbes, an even rougher neighborhood where they find that it takes more than just friendship to survive.
