520 Tanzania, 1964. When Katie Barstow, A-list actress, and
her new husband, David Hill, decide to bring their
Hollywood friends to the Serengeti for their honeymoon,
they envision giraffes gently eating leaves from the tall
acacia trees, great swarms of wildebeests crossing the
Mara River, and herds of zebra storming the sandy plains.
Their glamorous guests--including Katie's best friend,
Carmen Tedesco, and Terrance Dutton, the celebrated Black
actor who stars alongside Katie in the highly
controversial film "Tender Madness"--will spend their days
taking photos, and their evenings drinking chilled gin and
tonics back at camp, as the local Tanzanian guides warm
water for their baths. The wealthy Americans expect
civilized adventure: Fresh ice from the kerosene-powered
ice maker, dinners of cooked gazelle meat, and plenty of
stories to tell over lunch back on Rodeo Drive. What Katie
and her glittering entourage do not expect is this: A
kidnapping gone wrong, their guides bleeding out in the
dirt, and a team of Russian mercenaries herding them into
Land Rovers, guns to their heads. As the powerful sun
gives way to night, the gunmen shove them into abandoned
huts and Katie Barstow, Hollywood royalty, prays for a
simple thing: To see the sun rise one more time.
