A magical drug rumored to slow aging is thought to be in the hands of a lunatic priest in the far reaches of the Amazon. Two scientists, a man and woman, reluctantly join forces and pursue the rumor through trackless jungle. However, they are unknowingly being hunted by an Indian who is seeking revenge against atrocities committed by whites. This as a man killing jaguar devours whoever is in his path and a parrot who foretells the future is ignored. A crumbling Amazon forest, extinction and the discovery of what really matters in life - the "little things" - paint a backdrop of heartbreak, suspense and resilience.
