Chronology
Growing up in the Amazon rainforest has given Autumn a rare friendship: she finds a lost jaguar cub named Hope. When a tragic event forces Autumn to abandon Hope for strangers in New York, she has dreamed of returning to the rainforest and her friend for years. At the age of 14, having become accustomed to city life, Autumn discovers that her childhood village is under threat from animal traffickers and decides that she must return to the Amazon to be with her beloved jaguar. Anja (Emily Bett Rickards), Autumn’s clumsy and loving biology teacher, tries in vain to dissuade her from this reckless plan. Joined by Anja, Autumn embarks on a journey to find Hope and save her from those who seek to destroy the rainforest and its wildlife.
