In un lussuoso ufficio della Virginia, un vecchio ricco e arrabbiato sta riscrivendo furiosamente il suo testamento. A poche ore dalla sua morte, Troy Phelan vuole mandare un messaggio ai suoi figli, alle sue ex mogli e ai suoi tirapiedi, un messaggio che scatenerà una feroce battaglia legale e trasformerà decine di vite.
Perché il nuovo testamento di Troy Phelan nomina un'unica erede a sorpresa della sua fortuna da undici miliardi di dollari: una donna misteriosa di nome Rachel Lane, una missionaria che vive nelle giungle del Brasile.
Entrano in scena gli avvocati. Nate O'Riley è appena uscito dalla riabilitazione, un avvocato aziendale caduto in disgrazia, scelto per il suo ultimo lavoro: trovare Rachel Lane ad ogni costo. Mentre la famiglia di Phelan si aggira come avvoltoi a Washington, Nate si imbatte nella giungla brasiliana, entrando in un mondo in cui il denaro non significa nulla, in cui la morte è a un solo passo di distanza e in cui una donna, inseguita sia dai nemici che dagli amici, riserva una sorpresa sorprendente.

Work Description
In a plush Virginia office, a rich, angry old man is furiously rewriting his will. With his death just hours away, Troy Phelan wants to send a message to his children, his ex-wives, and his minions, a message that will touch off a vicious legal battle and transform dozens of lives.
Because Troy Phelan's new will names a sole surprise heir to his eleven-billion-dollar fortune: a mysterious woman named Rachel Lane, a missionary living deep in the jungles of Brazil.
Enter the lawyers. Nate O'Riley is fresh out of rehab, a disgraced corporate attorney handpicked for his last job: to find Rachel Lane at any cost. As Phelan's family circles like vultures in D.C., Nate is crashing through the Brazilian jungle, entering a world where money means nothing, where death is just one misstep away, and where a woman - pursued by enemies and friends alike - holds a stunning surprise of her own.
