Synopsis
In the heart of the African jungle, Escape presents the story of John Todd, a Scotsman who arrives at a remote trading post in the Segwanga Valley.

From the moment Todd steps off the boat, he is subjected to Brock's intimidation and condescension, setting the stage for a conflict that will challenge Todd's very identity.
