Op Botswana se Linyanti-vlakte heers 'n groep broers onder die top roofdiere. Drie jagluiperds: vennote sedert geboorte, en een van die doeltreffendste jagkragte op die vlaktes. Hulle jag as 'n span, met Achilles voor, en Odin en Shiva wat hom aan weerskante flankeer. Die magtige trio het hul grondgebied vir meer as vyf jaar gehou, totdat eendag tragedie toeslaan. Achilles word deur 'n kobrabyt doodgemaak, wat Odin en Shiva vir die eerste keer in hul lewens laat om vir hulself te sorg. Met die krag van drie gebreekte moet hulle vinnig aanpas: leer om as 'n tweeling te jag en hul dood te verdedig sonder die hulp van Achilles. Hulle pogings verwar 'n magdom roofdiere wat opvang: 'n beseerde luiperd, 'n slinkse hiëna en 'n slinkse swartrugjakkals. Om sake te vererger, begin 'n eensame jagluiperdman op hul grond oortree. Soos die jagluiperd-broers hul krag en doeltreffendheid herwin, word die eensame mannetjie 'n groot bekommernis. Toe hulle hom uiteindelik in die hoek steek, breek 'n bose geveg uit. Maar dan vind 'n merkwaardige transformasie plaas – in plaas daarvan om die jagluiperd dood te maak, verdra hulle hom. Dag vir dag begin die vreemdelinge mekaar geleidelik aanvaar, totdat op ’n dag – teen alle kanse – die krag van drie na die Linyanti-vlakte teruggekeer word terwyl ’n nuwe koalisie van jagluiperds uiteindelik saam jag...
