At first, the changes seem minor—some animals act hyper, others aggressive—but by midnight, full-on mayhem erupts. Elephants stampede with glowing eyes, birds swarm in eerie formations, and even the goldfish are acting weird.

Our unlikely heroes—a paranoid meerkat named Mick, a lazy sloth named Luna, a streetwise raccoon named Rico, and a pampered flamingo named Fiona—realize something is terribly wrong.
