Dr. Emmet Cole was a famous explorer and had a nature show that made him beloved by kids everywhere. Six months ago, he went deep into the Amazon rainforest in search of something... mystical. He vanished without a trace. His family had given up all hope when, inexplicably, his emergency beacon went off. Now, with a mixed lot of old friends and new acquaintances they are going deep into the Amazon jungle with a camera crew to attempt his rescue.
