Each year an expedition is launched pitting man against the raw untamed glory of the Amazon Forest. This year, the team of biologists have flung themselves into the jungle to pursue the most elusive of animals...but its those within the camp which prove to be them most fascinating and dangerous.

Peggy, a young biology student, revels in the social intimacy, the danger, the budding passions as she explores relationships over three seasons. During her fourth, she is blindsided by Julie, a bat researcher. Chasing the passion, she loses herself in a love she cannot fully understand.

When an ardent admirer has a horrible accident it jars the entire camp...but its only the first in a line of events which leave Peggy fighting for her own sanity and life.
