A tense, visceral hunt-and-hunted thriller set against colonial Africa, where man confronts nature's primal fury and his own hubris.

Sir Robert Beaumont is behind schedule on a railroad in Africa. Enlisting noted engineer John Henry Patterson to right the ship, Beaumont expects results.

After several more attacks, Patterson calls in famed hunter Charles Remington, who has finally met his match in the bloodthirsty lions.
