About a year ago, captivating footage of Kevin Richardson, an animal custodian in a South African park, began circulating on YouTube. The videos showcased his extraordinary interactions with some of the world's most dangerous animals, where he engaged with them at their level, played, and even kissed them, all without injury. This footage propelled Richardson to international fame. In his narrative, he reflects on his journey from a young boy known as 'The Bird Man of Orange Grove' to a man who bridges the gap between humans and predators. As a self-taught animal behaviorist, he defies conventional safety protocols, believing that love, understanding, and trust are the keys to forming bonds with wild animals, rather than force. His approach allows him to understand their individual personalities, fostering acceptance among them. Richardson shares poignant stories of the animals he has connected with, including his 'brothers' Napoleon and Tau, the lioness Meg, the fierce Tsavo, and the little hyena Homer. He also discusses his involvement in the film The White Lion and addresses the pressing issues of lion farming and hunting in South Africa. With insights from novelist Tony Park, Richardson offers a fresh perspective on understanding Africa's big cats.

A woman's quest to save Africa's wildlife turns lethal. A very eager - and rather naive - Australian lawyer, Kerry Maxwell, flies into South Africa to volunteer at a wildlife orphanage run by notorious vet, Graham Baird.

When Kerry arrives at the animal sanctuary it's to the news that Graham is imprisoned in Mozambique following a shootout with elephant poachers. In the gunfight he killed the brother of corrupt politician and poaching kingpin Fidel Costa. Kerry's earnest sense of justice takes her to Massingir to help Graham with his case, and into a world of danger.

Kerry's perilous entanglement may be what Graham needs to shake off his drunken cynicism and rejoin the fight for Africa's animals, but is it enough, and in time, to stop Costa's quest for revenge...
