Alone in the Amazonian rain forest, their plane in flames and the pilot dead, eighteen-year-old Joe and his friend Sam face an almost hopeless situation. Hundreds of kilometers from anywhere, equipped only with a knife, a compass and a map scrawled by a desperate, dying man, they are to need every ounce of their courage and strength to survive within the great, remote silence of the forest.

Joe and Sam must face more than the natural dangers of this alien, primitive world. For they have a valuable stone belonging to an Indian tribe a stone that could save the forest from the ravages of the timber companies. But there are others after the stone evil, merciless men who are prepared to kill anyone who gets in their way.
