Deep in the Amazon jungle, members of an elite scientific team are disappearing. Jake gets word his dad is in grave danger. So Jake makes the journey into the remote jungle where he finds the lost crew’s mutilated bodies. He discovers they’ve been slaughtered by a bat-like winged beast that’s now stalking him and the remaining survivors. In a battle to the death, can Jake possibly defeat this bloodthirsty predator?

When Indian workers begin to disappear from an expedition into the Amazon, fifteen-year-old Jake fears that his father, a bat biologist, is in great danger. Against his dad's wishes, Jake flies to Brazil and joins his father's research team, working high in the canopy of a remote stretch of the rain forest. Unfortunately, Jake's first climb up the rope bridges and suspended walkways of the dense forest leads him to discover the mutilated bodies of the missing Indians-and triggers a terrifying, explosive attack by an unknown winged beast. For a while the biologists and workers hunt the savage beast, but when Jake's father is attacked, it becomes clear that the hunters are now the hunted. Jake realizes that it is up to him to find some way of stopping the nightmarish creature before it returns to slaughter the rest of the expedition.
