An exciting, joyous story of what happens when a new creature with a new mind, but as intelligent as us, comes into the world.
Found in a dying jungle, six strange babies are spirited off to the United States where a fantastic discovery is made. Like us, they are hominids. They don't share our DNA but they're highly intelligent.
So they're animals--less than slaves, but as smart as us. This makes them incredibly valuable and the company that discovered them sees a fortune in the making by selling their offspring.
But not if primate expert Beth Cooke, brought in to get them to breed, and her Army Ranger husband Charlie have anything to say about it.
Will these brilliant captives get their chance to discover themselves, to look up at the stars, to be free...or will they become an animal commodity, bought and sold like cattle?
