Plot Synopsis

Busy Chicago web designer Kira's plan for a relaxing vacation in Scottsdale is derailed when she learns she has inherited Ukuthula, a beautiful animal reserve in South Africa and must travel there for the reading of the will. Upon her arrival, she meets the handsome park ranger Tom who is the exact opposite of her bland, accountant boyfriend. Along with Tom and Ally, the reserve's other ranger, Kira explores Ukuthula along with its majestic animals and she unexpectedly begins to not only fall in love with Ukuthula, but with Tom as well. She is soon conflicted and faced with a difficult decision: either sell the reserve to a ruthless competitor, which would jeopardize Ukuthula's future as well as the livelihood of its local villagers, or leave the safety of her life in Chicago and risk everything for this new world. When she sees the villagers and children from the school her uncle built she realizes that sometimes she must get lost to learn the way, and in the end, it's up to her to decide what ultimately makes her happy.
