Recently widowed Rodger de Longe feels lost. He fears that he’s losing his bond with his daughters, Peta and Courtney. He’s a man of the bush, and coping with ‘girlie feelings’ was always Helene’s department, not his. 
 
When an orphaned baby elephant is found, Rodger sees an opportunity that might help him reconnect with his children. But saving the elephant will go against the normal conservation methods he’s familiar with and it will require a new approach in an attempt to save the baby and reintroduce it in to a wild herd.
