A father is stranded with his baby daughter as violence breaks out in the jungle, in this gripping tale of family and resistance from award-winning journalist Richard Lloyd Parry.

Deep in a vast tropical rainforest, Kit and Lara escape the hollowness of modern life by doing charitable work in a jungle village. With them is their tiny baby, Helen, who flourishes under the vigilant care of her father.

Their life of idyllic isolation is shattered by the arrival of an outsider with frightening news: close at hand, across the border, violence is looming. Kit unwittingly holds evidence, hidden on a tiny memory card, of the world-shattering event that is unfolding, the desperate power-play of a flailing superpower.

Separated from Lara, with war erupting all around, Kit is forced to flee through the forest with Helen and a band of local children, pursued by a ruthless and determined army. Caught between the struggle of rival powers, Kit must keep his baby daughter alive while protecting the secret that his pursuers will kill to get their hands on.
