Owen's adopted daughter, a gifted musician named Jasmine Rochelle, hires street–smart Mane Silverstar to help her track down her father's killer, and the unlikely pair are plunged into a world of genetically engineered drugs, political machinations and corporate greed leading them deep into the re–created South American rain forests, where a terrible secret is hidden.
