Within days of arriving he has an unusual encounter with an enigmatic Chinese lady-boy. He falls foul of the violent local Triads and uncovers evidence of political corruption. Fleeing to the jungle for sanctuary, he meets Kirsty, a self-assured Glaswegian, and through her champions the cause of the nomadic Penan tribe, fighting an unequal battle against powerful timber barons, to protect the Penans security and way of life.Darren is forced to change his beliefs and his attitudes to survive and protect those he grows to love.
