"After his plane makes an emergency landing in a remote area in the Congo basin and rebels seize the aircraft, Lewis, a New York businessman, flees into the rainforest. Suddenly he's lost in a world where no rules apply and with no apparent way out.
As he struggles to survive in the unrelenting heat, battling thirst and hunger, he confronts his darkest fears and his greatest disappointments: his crumbling marriage; his distant relationship with his seven-year-old son, Shane; and the lack of meaning in his life.".
"When his wife, Helen, discovers that he has disappeared, she makes the daring decision to search for him in Africa. As she and Shane trek upriver into the forbidding forest, Shane's visions and dreams of his father give her hope. But just as Lewis cannot find his way out, Helen is thwarted at every turn by the military conflict raging around them.
While she searches for clues, Lewis is rescued by a young Congolese boy, who takes him deeper into the jungle and toward a side of himself he thought he'd lost."--BOOK JACKET.
