Carlos Serrano and Douglas Reynolds live in different worlds, worlds that are about to violently intersect. Reynolds is a scientist with a bitter grudge against international petroleum company, Steator Energies. Serrano guides ecotourists through the often-treacherous Amazonian rainforest.
Reynolds's vendetta spawns an ambitious scheme: sue Steator for wrongful disposal of toxic oil drilling wastes. To ensure a favorable verdict, Reynolds arranges the intentional contamination of a river near a now-defunct Steator project.
The plot hits a snag when Serrano's small group of birdwatchers stumbles across Reynolds's men as they are preparing to dump the contaminated soil into the river. Desperate, Reynolds arranges for the tourists' abduction, making their disappearance appear to be a commonplace kidnapping for ransom.
Only Serrano eludes capture. Now he must lead a dangerous rescue into Colombian territory. If he fails, people who relied on him for safety may die, and Reynolds will reap the rewards of corruption.
