In 2011, thieves started stealing rhino horns from museums and auction houses in a bizarrely British crimewave that swept the country, and the police were at a loss as to who was responsible.
A stuffed rhino head disappears from an Essex auction house, sparking a global investigation into the dark heart of poaching and a race to save the rhino from extinction.
The trade explodes as demand for rhino horn increases and criminals start hunting live animals as the crimewave spirals into an existential crisis.
Investigators are locked in a race against time to destroy the international criminal network before the rhino is hunted to extinction.
