Born in Africa out of wedlock, Benita Clifford's mother quickly moved to England, refusing to marry Benita's father due to his struggle with addiction. Benita enjoyed a happy childhood in England, however, when her mother tragically passes away, she decides to move back to Africa per her father's request. Benita's adventure starts long before she sets foot on African land, as she encounters the turbulent sea and becomes enamored by another passenger while she sails to the new country. As the journey continues, Benita and the other passenger, a man named Robert Seymour, grow closer, but their young relationship is threatened by a force of nature. After surviving a tragedy suffered by the ship, Benita arrives in Africa shaken, but ready to start anew. When she hears of a quest for lost Portuguese treasure, Benita is eager to join the adventure with her father and his partner. As they trek through land unknown, Benita and the expedition group brave countless challenges, including hostile native groups, shocking discoveries, dangerous environments, and a mysterious 17th century ghost.
