Vivian knows they aren't telling her the whole story but is attracted to the idea of returning to action-and to behavioral scientist Claire Walker. A young man has gone missing and they need an experienced guide to help them negotiate the terrain to find him.

At the police station to report her discovery, Vivian finds two government agents who are looking for her. An angry crocodile drags the body away, but not before Vivian snags the man's money belt which contains nearly $75,000-and a phone number that Vivian knows all too well. Or so she believes, until she discovers a rotting corpse in the mangroves. After being severely wounded in a covert operation, ex-Australian Secret Service officer Vivian Andrews has built a quiet life for herself in a small fishing village in Northern Queensland. Too bad those are the least of their worries. Two strong-willed women are fighting for survival in a primitive wilderness of venomous snakes, stinging insects, and crocodile-infested swamps.
