Photographer Kayli Heddon is sent on an airboat tour of the Everglades to do a controversial photo-essay for the governor's re-election campaign. The tour's scheduled guide gets sidetracked, and he coerces his cousin -- sugar plantation owner Skye Landers -- into taking his place and guiding the government biologists and photographer on the two-day safari.

Kayli's ex-boyfriend, Clay Jameson -- the governor's Deputy Chief of Staff -- isn?t buying her story about a routine assignment and shows up unexpectedly to tag along on her tour. Jameson and Landers immediately butt heads, and Kayli can't keep them from bickering anymore than she can quell her mounting agitation with Jameson or her inexplicable attraction to her enigmatic guide. She thinks Landers is just her Seminole airboat guide and wants to call the shots. Landers is used to giving orders, not taking them, and the two lock horns in the famed River of Grass.
