Among the last vestiges of truly pristine jungles in the world Corcovado stands tall. Nestled on the Pacific side of Costa Rica, bordered to the north by Drake Bay and to the south by the Gulf of Nicoya, it is a testament to the country’s foresight and community commitment. It embodies the expression of pura vita. Here in this remote wilderness a story of life’s struggle, passion, and worth unfolds. Declan Mares, an American expatriate running an offshore sports betting service, scours the jungle for his fortune. Lepidopterist Lauren McAlister swings from the treetops continuing her PhD program, savoring the freedom and beauty so abundant in this national preserve. Salvador Maria Antonio is a veteran park ranger at the Sirena station juggling an explosion in poaching, unprecedented tourist inflows, and the realization that he may indeed be the last of his breed. In Corcovado their lives intersect, and ultimately intertwine, as together they face an insatiable, borderless enemy intent on siphoning off one of Corcovado’s most valuable commercial resources. Will the courage of these few be enough to stop Big Oil?
