Anthropologist Andrew Bankson has spent two years investigating the Kiona tribe of New Guinea. The voluntary isolation and lack of discoveries lead him to develop a suicide plan. However, the appearance of two anthropologist colleagues makes him rethink his decision. Nell, controversial and brilliant, and Fen, attractive and put-together, together create an extreme love triangle with Bankson. Euforia becomes a tense story about the competition of egos and desires set in a threatening landscape. Based on a true chapter in the life of anthropologist Margaret Mead, Lily King vindicates her expertise in the field to which she has devoted her whole life.
