MAN IS WOLF TO MAN (Inspired by true events)

French Guyana, 1934. A group of six prisoners escape from a French penal colony only to be pursued by a notorious Bounty Hunter; an adversary who claims the price of a fugitive’s hand as a reward.

RAFAEL, our hero, has been just been released from a two year term in solitary confinement. Broken physically and mentally, fate offers him the chance of freedom when he is caught up in a savage breakout.

Led by a fellow escapee, CAESAR, the party set off along a secret trail, Mal Paso San Pedro, which will lead them out of the rain forest and towards the mountains of Brazil. With miles of treacherous swamps, wild animals and hostile natives, the journey promises to be perilous, but the biggest threat to the group will come from within.

When SACHA, a young prisoners’ ‘rent boy’, absconds with all their rations, and is found brutally slain minus a hand, the group’s worst fears are realized. LA MASQUE, a notorious, heavily tattooed bounty hunter employed by the authorities, is now on their trail.

As they move deeper into the jungle, RUPNER, a German profiteer prisoner, chances upon on a secret horde of treasure in a deserted mysterious settlement. Unable to resist, he succumbs to his greed and decides to split, but his actions prove to be his final act of avarice, when later he staggers back to the group, deathly pale and mutilated like the last.
