'Twelve pairs of eyes watched the Land Rovers leave ... Once the tourists were out of sight, their leader rose and gestured that the others should follow. Their destination lay thirteen kilometres to the east-Logans Island Lodge.' As the last guests of summer are welcomed to a luxury lodge in Etosha National Park, Namibia, thoughts are predominantly on the three-month break ahead.

Camping in the park nearby, Professor Eben Kruger has his work cut out keeping the attention of the university students in his charge on the behavioural habits of the cunning jackal. Not one could ever be prepared for the horrendous events about to take place.

Each will be pushed to breaking point as the quest for survival becomes the only thing that matters.
