Growing up in the Amazon rainforest gave Autumn an unlikely friendship: she discovers a lost jaguar cub named Hope. When a tragic event forces Autumn to leave Hope for the strangers of New York, she has dreamed for years of returning to the rainforest and her friend. At 14, and already accustomed to urban life, Autumn discovers that her childhood town is threatened by animal traffickers and decides she must return to the Amazon to be with her beloved jaguar. Anja (Emily Bett Rickards), Autumn’s biology teacher, tries in vain to dissuade her from this reckless plan. Accompanied by Anja, Autumn embarks on a journey to find Hope and save her from those who seek to destroy the rainforest and its wildlife.
