Saul Barnard is a woodcutter with a restless soul - he wants to keep strangers out of the Forest and try to prevent the destruction of the Forest. Then there is a legendary elephant bull - Oupoot - who breaks away from his herd... Oupoot and Saul have a strange bond between them. In the green twilight world of the Outeniekwa they walk circular paths. Saul Barnard, rejected by his people and humiliated to servitude by unscrupulous woodcutters; Oupoot, endlessly pursued by hunters. A man and his animal-brother - thrown together in a pristine primeval forest, which is being destroyed piece by piece by gold diggers, woodcutters and other exterminators. Saul follows Oupoot's trail, ever closer to the truth that will change his life forever.
