Synopsis

Hal Everett is an American expatriate, guiding groups of tourists into the vast and remote Ecuadorian jungle. Hal, like most expatriates, is a misfit: failed marriages, businesses, and a stint in the seminary litter his past. The job is beginning to wear thin, and his current group of "adventurers" is a good example of why. This group is especially interesting and eclectic. They will prove to be a challenge to his guiding prowess and his sanity.Sandra and Bradley, two Brits, are abrasive and fiercely independent, and those are their good qualities. Alex and Anna, the Americans, are successful Hollywood actors, and, in Alex's case, a prima donna of the highest order. Finally, about the time when Hal begins to smooth out the bumpy going, they have a chance encounter on a remote river which changes everything not necessarily for the better.In the Amazon Basin, life always has a surprise or two to spring on you: "So much beauty at such a great price. There is always something out there waiting to bite or sting or infest you." Amazon Heat will make you sweat!
