Self-styled survivalist and demolition expert Mickey Grosman leads a team of amateur explorers deep into the Amazon on a chaotic, death-defying quest to cross the South American continent - it'll be a miracle if anyone makes it out alive.

Mickey dismisses a veteran teammate, then hires a local escort for a hazardous desert trek. Running out of water after getting disoriented, the group descends into chaos, risking one member's life.

Mickey loses control of the expedition when an indigenous tribe kidnaps them. He replaces Delfin with an inexperienced woman who accuses him of having a God complex. The team stumbles onto a bizarre subculture, eager to prove her correct.

A near-deadly case of dengue fever almost stops Mickey before he's arrested at gunpoint and imprisoned in Brazil. Missing footage leads to questions about his escape and the expedition's end. Did covert operatives help Mickey to finish it?
