Sumatran tiger cubs Spot and Stripe are now approaching their first birthday. They are living at Australia Zoo in Queensland under the care of their surrogate dad, British tiger expert Giles Clark. Giles must guide the brothers to adulthood in a few weeks' time and deal with the teenage rebellion that ensues. To add to Giles's responsibilities, Spot is almost blind, and Giles must help him adjust to life at the zoo. Spot and Stripe have been raising awareness about the plight of critically endangered tigers in Sumatra, and the Clark family make a big decision to safeguard the cubs' wild cousins - it's time to hit the road! Giles's wife Kerri and nine-year-old son Kynan join Giles on a road trip through Indonesia, getting up close and personal with the jungle's iconic species, from orangutans to elephants and tigers. It's a million miles away from the suburbs they're used to, but they're determined to make a difference. In Sumatra, they join rescued elephants patrolling the national parks and protecting tigers and the habitat in which they live. They decide to leave a lasting legacy and build an enclosure so the elephants are able to fully socialise for the first time.

Sumatran tiger cubs Spot and Stripe are now almost a year old and living at Australia Zoo in Queensland under the care of their surrogate dad, British tiger expert Giles Clark. The Clark family - Giles, wife Kerri and nine-year-old son Kynan - are on a road trip through Indonesia with a mission to save tigers in the wild, getting up close and personal with the jungle's iconic species, from orangutans to elephants and tigers. It's a million miles away from the suburbs they're used to. They see the harsh reality of tiger poaching when they visit injured tigers caught in snares. Kerri is pushed to her limits as the family trek deep into tiger territory and they experience some of the rainforest's creepy crawlies. Giles concocts an ambitious plan to save injured tigers in the wild. Back in Australia, Spot and Stripe are days away from their first birthday and will no longer be classed as cubs. Giles must guide the brothers through teenage rebellion to adulthood. To add to Giles's responsibilities, Spot is facing an operation that may mean he loses his vision completely. As Spot and Stripe turn one, Giles and the Clark family celebrate a life-changing year.
