As a student in 1970s Oklahoma, Janis Carter took a job caring for Lucy, a chimp raised as a human by psychologists Maurice and Jane Temerlin. But when Lucy reached adolescence, the Temerlins realized her size and strength made her too dangerous to cohabitate with humans and devised a plan to take Lucy to Gambia, where she would be taught to live in the wild. Planning to go along for just a few weeks to help Lucy acclimate, Janis ended up becoming the leader of Lucy's small chimpanzee troupe and left behind her life in the U.S. forever.
