Misfitzu

When asked to drive a get-away car, Dizzy "Dismas" Poverello, high school honors graduate and future pre-med, replied, "YOLO, you only live once, man!"
He was to die a thousand deaths. The thieves and murderers escaped, but Dismas faced the law. He could have provided evidence, reducing the charges against him, but Darius his brother warned of the horrible consequences for their entire family. After fifteen years, at MCI (Massachusetts Correctional Institution), Cedar Junction, the Parole Board placed Dismas as a grounds keeper at the Midge Avenue Park Zoo (MAPZ). The ex-prisoner quickly developed sympathy for the confined animals.
In time, FBI agents convinced Dismas to provide evidence against the bank robbers and participate as part of an undercover trap, with Dismas as the live bait. In spite of the FBI's elaborate plans, the Bureau could not stop the vengeance bound gangsters. Dismas would have been better off at the mercies of the animals, including a cunning and undernourished black bear, a stealthy salivating mountain lion, and a ravenous great white shark, all looking forward to fresh meat. Can an impala, an elephant, and an ostrich save Dismas?
