The end of 1960 is quickly nearing in the humid north eastern jungle of Argentina. All Jack O'Shea wants to do is to complete his eighth biography on famous characters that have shaped history. But events quickly overtake him. The subject of his latest book becomes his hunter, threatening to take his family and friends apart. Jack is plunged into seven days of sheer hell in a roller coaster of a chase across the Argentine and Paraguay border. Justice and law are interpreted differently here and Jack quickly learns that if he and his twin children are to survive, he will need to take the law into his own hands. With the help of an unlikely quartet, in the shape of the enigmatic Rodriguez, the freshly arrived French bombshell Amélie, the local police Capitan Santano and the Swiss mayor of the small town Pieter, a plan is concocted. Time becomes their greatest enemy as the uncooperative Military Police from both countries, an ineffective communication system and even Mossad conspire against them
