Oliver Stranges life in London is all very normal until his father disappears in the wilds of the Okavango Swamps while collecting frog data.

When Oliver goes in search of his dad, he is captured and things go from bad to worse.

Oliver is faced with not only saving his father but perhaps the whole world.
