In the heart of Africa, strong people survive. Teenage martial arts master Connor Reeves is assigned to guard a foreign ambassador’s family on a safari. What begins as a routine security detail quickly turns chaotic when their convoy is attacked by gunmen. Caught in a violent shoot‑to‑kill hunt across the plains, Connor and the family are forced to fight for their lives. Relying on his bodyguard training and martial arts skills, Connor realizes that the real threats are far greater than the gunmen, as the African wilderness itself harbors a hungry leopard and other dangers.
