Janeen, a young girl living in Georgia's Okefenokee Swamp near the small city of Waycross, helps park ranger Jim when his foot is caught in a poachers' trap and learns to trust him. Her home is a swamp cabin which she shares with a middle-aged African American whom she calls Pa. When she tells him about meeting ranger Jim, Pa reveals details about her past — his own name is Nat and several years ago he lived with and assisted an old doctor who saved his life. Doc had an abortion clinic, but also delivered unwanted babies and sold them to agents of Arab sheiks as sex slaves. Janeen was one of such babies, and lived with Doc and Nat until she was about six, when Doc decided she could be sold for a high price, but the two slavers who arrived for her refused to pay, killed Doc, and took Janeen. Nat, who suspected that Doc intended to sell her, hid nearby, used a hatchet to kill the slavers and, afraid of the law, retreated with Janeen to the swamp.
