Perspectives of two Indonesian middle-schoolers and a caged orangutan entwine. Wealthy Malia circulates an anti-palm-oil petition at her school, resulting in suspensions for herself, her best friend Ari, and her teacher. Ari worries about Ginger Juice, the orangutan his uncle keeps in a cage. When Ari learns about orangutan rehabilitation centers from Malia's petition, the young people unite to plot a rescue.
