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 are as intelligent as we are–at least…
But they’re not human so they have only animal rights. Brilliant as they are, they are legally less than slaves. 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?
