A San bushman’s two young children accidentally climb into a poacher's truck and are driven away across the Kalahari Desert. He embarks on a journey to retrieve them. Simultaneously, a lawyer and a biologist become stranded in the desert. Their paths comically and dangerously cross with the bushman, the poachers, and an army convoy, all while the father uses his unparalleled survival skills to track his family.
