Marika Vecera, is a war correspondent who has spent years documenting atrocities and tragedies in conflict zones. Her work leaves her emotionally scarred and disconnected from the world. After the apparent suicide of her idol, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Robert Lewis, she discovers a letter suggesting he might still be alive in the jungles of Papua New Guinea. Her portrayal of Papua New Guinea is immersive, combining her firsthand knowledge of the region with a gripping narrative.
