Struggling journalist Paige leaves San Francisco for South Africa, determined to revive her failing career with a hard-hitting exposé on rhino poaching. With their horns worth a fortune on the black market, these massive, yet gentle, animals are being slaughtered at an alarming rate—and Paige is convinced this story could be her big break.

Danger strikes almost immediately after she arrives in South Africa, when poachers ambush Paige's tour group. She survives only because she is rescued by Spencer, a man who claims to work for the FBI. He says he wants to save the rhinos and offers to help her with her story, but as he exposes her to a world she would never see on her own, Paige learns that he's not who he seems. He says the rules don't work, and some laws need to be broken.

While he claims he wants to save rhinos, Paige suspects he's in the rhino poaching business himself as she becomes embroiled in the brutal underworld of dealing in rhino horns. Caught between her ambition and her survival, Paige must decide whether to continue learning about the world of rhino poaching from Spencer and risk becoming the next casualty, or leave for home while she still can.

Will she escape South Africa alive with the story that could change everything for her—or lose her life in the deadly world she set out to expose?
