A lone King Cheetah cub is saved from death by a Leopard known only as ‘Boss’ and is taken into his care.

Boss tells him that he is the last Cheetah in the wild, and that if he wants to be around his own kind he must meet ‘the right people’.
Boss explains to Knip about animals kept in captivity to save their species from going extinct, and tells him of the time he spent in captivity, and how he got caught in the first place.
