Desperate for a good story to turn her flagging television station around, journalist Christine Shaye (Brooke Shields) travels across the globe to Africa, where she finds a documentary filmmaker (John Varty) who’s been following a family of cheetahs in the wild. The plot thickens when the mother cheetah dies, leaving behind a pair of cubs, and a TV exec back in the States tries to cut Shaye's story. Martin Sheen and David Keith co-star.
