Dan is a man for whom life has lost all meaning. Now nothing more than an unwanted burden, it is empty, shorn of love and full of sour thoughts. But a chance meeting with a stranger offers him hope to find a new purpose for his life: a purpose that will take him on a unique odyssey. With the help of others, Dan embarks on a journey that takes him into the very heart of Africa to a place that is only rarely visited and still largely unspoilt. His journey is guaranteed to test his resolve and endurance, exposing him to a whole series of challenges he has never had to face before.
