The terrible truth about their own Cahill branch is finally coming to light, and it might destroy everything they thought they knew. Prepare for a heart-pounding race through the jungle as secrets are exposed and loyalties are tested. Can Amy and Dan survive the storm and the deadly truth, or is this the end of their quest?
