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.
