Zoo Crew and the Missing Monkey

During a heist gone wrong, a street thief is sentenced to community service at a zoo, but when the zoo's most-prized endangered monkey suddenly goes missing, he must use his criminal skills to unravel a much deeper crime to clear his name and keep the zoo from closing.
