A white lion cub must beat the odds to become an adult. According to legend, white lions are the messengers of the gods, but Letsatsi’s uniqueness just makes him vulnerable.

He is cast out from the pride and, close to starvation, befriended by Nkulu. The older lion helps him survive but is killed by a farmer, leaving Letsatsi to survive on his own.

He learns to hunt and grows into a formidable adult. But before he can take over a pride of his own, Letsatsi must face his greatest foe - the trophy hunter, for whom legends are worthless and rare skins priceless.
