This story is about Kennitosh Scarborough (Tosh) and Amber, one of a set of triplets. Tosh is a wealthy single man of twenty-eight. He’s an environmentalist and businessman owning a controlling interest in Echo Forests, Inc., a corporation that concentrates on purchasing or leasing large tracts of the rain forest to prevent its destruction. His second company, a start-up, will produce a magazine called Orphan. He hires the triplets to manage the three departments in his new company.

Amber and her sisters are orphans, as Tosh is. The young ladies are twenty-three and have recently graduated from NYU. Their employment with Tosh will be their first jobs.

Oxana uses slave labor to dig chunks of amber from an open pit mine in the Amazon, destroying the rain forest as she goes. She not only enjoys human agony and killing people, but she also loves to torture animals, two of which are jaguars.

The amber Oxana’s men dig from the ground contains insects, small animals, and ampoules of ancient water. The preserved spiders, scorpions, and salamanders are millions of years old and highly prized by scientists and museum curators. She sells her illegal amber on the black market for thousands of dollars, but unknown to her, she happens to be digging her mine on Echo Forests property.

Tosh and Amber are at odds from the beginning; however, they are also drawn to each other at every turn.

Tosh’s associate and long time family friend, QUINN, spots a large clearing on a satellite photo of one of Echo Forests’ tracts of land. The area is two hundred miles from Manaus, Brazil.

After one of Tosh and Amber’s arguments, Tosh decides he and Quinn will fly the company plane to the Amazon to find out what’s going on. Quinn, the pilot, suffers a heart attack and the plane crashes in the rain forest before reaching Manaus.

Quinn dies before the plane crashes. Tosh is injured, but survives the crash. He is aided by two Yanomami children, who have lost their entire tribe to Oxana. She murdered all the women and girls, and forced the men to work in the pit.

Amber and her sisters fly to Manaus to organize a search for Tosh and Quinn.

Tosh is captured by Oxana. She fancies him as a sex slave, but he pretends to be gay. Before Amber and her search party are able to locate Tosh, they are taken prisoner by Oxana’s men. Oxana soon discovers Amber and Tosh are romantically evolved and decides to have fun with both of them.

In the end, the Yanomami children set fire to the camp, creating a disturbance which enables Tosh and the others to overpower the guards.

Oxana escapes into the jungle, but soon her remains are found; she has been torn to pieces by the two jaguars she had mistreated.
