A gripping fast-paced legal environmental thriller. Rebecca Calderone, a New York based lawyer, is in a frantic battle to prevent the sale of her rainforest homeland by a military leaning government to a powerful conglomerate. Her brother Montero has been leading the rainforest militia put together years back to protect the population from army attacks, government pillaging trees and precious minerals out of the jungle. Rebecca is at the last stages of organizing a consortium of environmental, wildlife and human rights organizations that will take out a 98 year lease on the rainforest in another 2-3 months. However the conglomerate has decided it wants the rainforest purchased in 7 days. Can she get the agreement signed in the next 7 days or does she resign herself to her home and the lungs of the earth being gutted out for personal greed and illicit profit as they legalize their criminal acts? A cliff-hanger involving an innocent population, geo-politics and corporate greed.
