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.

Mickey dismisses a veteran teammate, then hires a local escort for a hazardous desert trek.

Mickey's film crew embarks on a treacherous journey through the Eastern Andes. A risky bridge crossing precedes their venture deeper into the mountains.

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.

A near-deadly case of dengue fever almost stops Mickey before he's arrested at gunpoint and imprisoned in Brazil; three months of missing footage leads to questions about his escape and the expedition's end.
