When his wallet is lifted after a one-night stand with an exotic young woman, who may be either the girl of his dreams or just a common third-world grifter and thief, this world-weary traveler decides to go against his own better judgment and that of the local authorities and pursue this alluring thief up-country into the darkest jungles of Papua New Guinea.Here is a land where headhunters still roam, and where the natural obstacles of poisonous insects and reptiles, savage and deadly beasts, and the mortally demanding jungle itself are the least of his worries.

For men or women, black or white, civilized or savage, in the darkness of the jungle all shadows are primal.
