"The Daintree breeds survivors, those who can weather the storms, heat and floods that go hand-in-hand with its beauty. Doctor Emma Porter is one such survivor, dedicated to her patients and to preserving this precious land where she has made her home. But Emma's quiet life is disrupted when her first love Jeremy Langford takes a job at the hospital. Jeremy is fleeing demons of his own: the tragedy which haunts him has made life in Sydney unbearable. The tight-knit community of Dalrymple seems to promise the peace he has been searching for. But while some come to the Daintree to find shelter, others are here to exploit the rainforest's riches. And they will stop at nothing to get their hands on its bounty." - Back cover.
