Claire is house-sitting for her sister while she’s in the Amazon for work when a letter arrives saying her sister has been accepted for a fellowship, but she needs to sign it by the end of next week. With no way to contact her, Claire decides the only option is to deliver it herself.

She hops on a plane and hires a riverboat captain named Danny to take her to her sister, but Danny says the location is too remote. Undeterred, Claire joins the next excursion headed in the right direction, planning to figure it out as she goes. Unfortunately, it’s going to take way too long. She tries hiring other guides, but no one wants to go that far into the jungle.

Eventually, she runs into Danny again, and he gives in once he realizes who her sister is. They actually know each other. So off they go.

Along the way, they stop in different villages. At first, the crew isn’t thrilled with Claire, but eventually they warm up to her and basically let her join the team. They get as far as they can by boat and then have to continue on foot through the jungle. During the trek, Claire panics, thinking she hears her sister calling out to her, but it turns out to just be the “tree of Chucky.” Classic jungle moment.

After a long journey, she finally finds her sister. She delivers the paperwork, and the sisters start talking about Danny. Claire insists she could never be with him—unfortunately, Danny overhears this and is clearly hurt.

That night, there’s dancing. Instead of asking Claire to stay, Danny says he’s leaving and peaces out. Claire’s sister talks some sense into her and convinces her not to let him go. Claire hops into a small boat, chases down the bigger one, and tells Danny she’s staying in the Amazon.

They kiss.
