The "Mandisa Lodge" in the South African bush is anything but luxurious, but it's home to Hanna and her staff. It's also currently home to Hanna's father, who has come to visit from Europe, but has now fallen seriously ill. Hanna's elder sister Eva immediately flies to the Cape – but not before accidentally catching her husband of 22 years kissing a much younger blonde... With Eva still shaken, things get off to a bad start between the sisters. For just like practically everyone who knows Eva, Hanna feels intimidated by her discipline, strength and sheer unattainable perfection. Alex, a rugged ranger who's a friend and neighbor of Hanna's, gives Eva a crash course in African nature that gets her hands dirty and her heart pounding. But is it pounding out of awe or out of a strong sensual attraction to the rough-mannered Alex? The African sun works its wonders, and soon Eva and Alex are making passionate love. Suddenly, Eva's husband shows up. Although he's shocked to learn that Eva has fallen in love so quickly, he is determined to fight for his marriage. But it's not before a couple of violent poachers attack the lodge and trigger a fire that Eva realizes whom her heart really belongs to...
