Vera is a nurse from Sweden who, while delivering a dangerous birth in
the Colombian jungle, makes contact with indigenous people who give her
a wholly different outlook on life. A traumatic experience takes her
home, her life in pieces, just like the world as she now sees it. Her
quest to put her life back together becomes tied up with her vision of a
more sustainable world.
She meets the corporate heir to a company specializing in luxury travel
who has a predatory attitude to women. Could such opposites really
attract? And, if they came together, could they actually do something to
halt the global march to self-destruction?
An exploration of the inter-connectedness of human life and an
unexpected love story, Integrity delves deep into the choices and
emotions of a woman trying to change the world, and a man trying to
change with her.
