His fourteen year-old daughter Jessica is having friction with her stepmother Amy since she does not accept the divorce of her parents. On the next morning, Amy, Jessica and her brother David go in a game drive with a ranger while Tom goes to the dam. While driving off-road, David asks the ranger to stop the jeep to go to the "toilet", and unexpectedly they are attacked by a group of starving lions that kill and eat the ranger. Amy, Jessica and David are trapped in the jeep and stalked by the wild lions. When Tom returns to the hotel and finds that his family has not returned from the game, he asks for help to the experienced hunter and guide Crawford and together they seek Tom's family.

Crawford, you said we're covering the area

that the rangers aren't covering.

Newman, have you ever

taken heat before, pal? Have you?

'Cause you'd better come to terms with

the fact that we might never find them.

- We need to get out of the car

and make some noise.

- What about the lion?

He's gone!

Okay. Okay. I'll go to the ridge.

What are you talking about?

You can't. What about your ankle?

- I'm going. Okay?

- Absolutely not,Jess.

You have no say in this.

Jess, please! Not now! Okay?

I'm not gonna lose you.

Okay, well, here. Take my shoes.

They have more support.

Jess.

There's no time. Okay?

Amy.

[ Whispers ]

Okay.

You tourists,you come here and stay

in your posh tents by the pool...

and you go back home and tell about your

adventure stories like it was a trip to the zoo.

Well, out here you're the zoo, pal...

and you'd better

look this thing in the eye.

Mr. Crawford...

with or without your help I'm gonna

get in that piece-of-sh*t vehicle...

and I'm gonna scour every

goddamned inch of this continent...

until I find my family.
