In the summer of 1976, after his mother is sent to prison, seventeen-year-old Jim Woodman and his younger brother are sent, along with three other teenagers, into the Honduran jungle in search of a lost city. What begins as an adventure quickly becomes a test of survival. Their guide, a volatile Vietnam War veteran, proves more dangerous than the rainforest itself, and the instincts forged in childhood chaos become the only thing keeping them alive.
Some jungles grow from the earth. Others grow inside families.
Both demand you learn how to survive.
