Corruption, Assassination, Extinction…
In the South African veld elephants are being callously killed for their valuable tusks by vicious poaching gangs as part of a high-level political conspiracy. The stakes are high: rescuing a young democracy, bringing the poachers to justice and saving the elephant herds from extinction.
Leading the fight is the Veteran, a seasoned anti-apartheid freedom fighter and his young activist protégé Thandi, with ranger Mkhize and the mysterious Sniper alongside. As they fight to save the animals, they confront ruthless killers, wholesale money-laundering and political corruption.
