What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
Yossi becomes stranded in the Amazon rainforest, where rivers, terrain, insects, injury, and isolation shape every attempt to escape.
After the expedition separates, Yossi must endure the rainforest alone while confronting hallucinations and physical decline.
The expedition's search for adventure gives way to hunger, injury, exhaustion, and an increasingly desperate fight to remain alive.
Yossi and his companions pursue stories of lost tribes, uncharted territory, and gold before the expedition's fantasy collides with the rainforest's reality.
