From the liner notes

At age 18, Catherine leaves her London prep school to be with her parents at their factory stationed in the Amazon Jungle. As the family enjoys the boat trip into the jungle, a tribe of headhunters ambushes them and her parents are killed and Catherine is taken hostage by the tribe. Over the next few years, Catherine is forced to live by the tribe's barbaric rituals and savagery while always remembering who she is, where she comes from, and remaining "civilized." Until, that is, she finds out the truth concerning the murder of her parents.
