A researcher-turned-vigilante battles to save rhinos and elephants, exposing his future father-in-law as the mastermind of Kenya’s most nefarious poaching ring.
The tranquility of Michael Sandburg’s baboon research is shattered when a jealous tribesman launches a spear at him, mistaking Michael’s actions as affection towards the tribesman’s lover, and Michael is forced to kill in self defense. Fleeing, he soon stumbles upon poachers slaughtering elephants for their tusks; he kills again, compelled to defend the lives of innocent rhinos and elephants against the brutality and greed of gangs of poachers, a vigilante born. Trouble remains close as Michael discovers his fiance’s stepfather, Richard Keeton, a hunter waiting to inherit a Lordship, is the mastermind of a mafia-like global network smuggling rhino horns and ivory. After Richard is framed and sits rotting in prison, Michael is torn between sealing Richard’s death warrant by exposing the truth or aiding his new family and rescuing the very man he has sworn to vanquish. In the end, Michael coerces Richard into turning over his millions in exchange for his freedom, forcing him to accept a humbling retirement and using the money to train his students as the next generation to protect animals in the wild.
