The Quest for an Elusive Amphibian in the Mountains of violence-torn Haiti brings together an unlikely pair of hunters -- American herpetologist Victor Grigg and his Haitian guide Thierry Adrien -- whose individual stories unfold and intertwine in a mesmerizing tale of love, sex, and fraternal rivalry; the propagation and extinction of species in the natural world; and the mysterious forces of nature that govern the fate of all living creatures.
