The Elephant Trials Premise

Dr. Steve Miller has been transferred to this remote area of South Africa as the only westerner who can translate Xitoga the language of a man named Bandi. This small villager burdened with a brain infection has the ability to speak with elephants from a nearby herd.

The elephants led by their chief named Gur have a justice system of their own and want the human village removed from their migration trail. Gur agrees to take his dispute to the human courts.

On the opposite side of the world, tensions rise between Eastern and Western Canada over winter supply routes. Both countries build troops on their border ready for war.

After a rogue elephant kills a farmer, the land dispute turns into a murder trial. Dr. Steve Miller, is transferred to Hudson Bay where he is trapped after fighting breaks out between the two Canadian countries.

With no translator and no way to be heard at the trial with the humans, the elephants launch a plan to bring Dr. Miller back to Africa.
