They have a confrontation and then Adam informs his mother and stepfather that he is going to Africa to find out what happened to Cassie.
He and Cyndi fly to South Africa, where Adam sees Cassie's body and has a breakdown.
The trio go on a search across Africa and along the way Adam attempts to introduce Christian values to the natives.
Finally, they are able to find one of the men involved in Cassie's murder and he and Adam have a violent confrontation that ends in the perpetrator's death.
Adam then learns that Mel has had a personal score with the same terrorists who killed Cassie and has been using him the whole time for information.
He almost ends up dead, if not for Mel arriving at the nick of time and shooting the killer in the head.
