Though she is there to study chimps, the greater challenge is her attempt to grapple with her own recent past-as well as her fellow scientists. And when she discovers evidence of supposedly peaceful chimps engaging in extreme violence, Hope finds herself drawn into a war of desperate egos and ruthless ambitions.
