Dr. Lily Houghtonová cestuje z Londýna do amazonskej džungle na vedeckú výpravu a naverbuje si ako sprievodcu kapitána Franka Wolfa, aby ju dopravil na jeho starej ledva plávajúcej lodi do mesta La Quila. Dr. Lily Houghtonová je v nepreniknuteľnej amazonskej džungli odhodlaná nájsť staroveký strom, ktorý disponuje zázračnými liečivými schopnosťami a má potenciál zmeniť budúcnosť medicíny.

Martin and Hazel Quarrier are small-town fundamentalist missionaries sent to the jungles of South America to convert the Indians. Their remote mission was previously run by the Catholics, before the natives murdered them all. They are sent by the pompous Leslie Huben, who runs the missionary effort in the area but who seems more concerned about competing with his Catholic 'rivals' than in the Indians themselves. Hazel is terrified of the Indians while Martin is fascinated. Soon American pilot Lewis Moon joins the Indian tribe but is attracted by Leslie's young wife, Andy. Can the interaction of these characters and cultures, and the advancing bulldozers of civilization, avoid disaster?
The Amazon is one of the wildest and least explored parts of the planet. Encompassing 6 countries and 2 million square miles of forest, river and floodplain, it has the highest diversity of life on the planet, but what lies below it is truly shocking. In its deep muddy rivers, clear streams and expansive floodplains a freak-show of fish life has exploded, with some of the strangest shapes and weirdest adaptations on Earth. Hiding in the vast rivers and streams is an electric grid, a bizarre community of fish with a highly sophisticated electric sixth sense. Using electricity, these "Super" fish can communicate wirelessly, control each other remotely and emit shocks that can stop a human heart. This cryptic world has mystified scientists throughout the ages. Now an intrepid scientist, Will Crampton ventures back into the dark jungles where the inspiration for our technology driven world first emerged, in an attempt to unravel their secrets and unlock the electric code.

The electric eel lives in the fresh waters of the Amazon Basin. It can give an electrical discharge capable of killing a horse. This eel can locate fish by means of "radar," then captures its prey by knocking it out with a violent shock of electricity.

The study of the electric eel helps to answer many questions concerning the relationship of science and the Word of God.
