Life has not been easy for either Sam or Melissa. Orphaned at a young age, both struggle to find their place in the world. Zoologist and game ranger Sam withdraws into a world of quiet and appreciation of nature. Aspiring writer Melissa, wearing earplugs to block out the painful noise of daily life, has cut everybody out, retreating into a world of books and films. When Melissa travels to Botswana to write a book about the African wilderness, she meets Sam, her tour guide. After a confrontational first encounter, they find they share an overwhelming desire to hide from a world they don't like. Gradually, their view of the world shifts, and through each other, they begin to discover the magic they've been looking for all their lives. Now, as they experience new adventures in the African bushveld and try to overcome their past traumas, will they finally find a home in each other?
