Врач-биолог Марина Сингх отправляется в Бразилию на поиски своего бывшего научного руководителя. Исчезнувшая при загадочных обстоятельствах доктор Аника Свенсон жила в племени лакаши в глубоких джунглях Амазонии и занималась разработкой революционного препарата от бесплодия.

Что-то подсказывает ей: именно там скрывается то чудо, которое она искала всю жизнь. Решится ли она на последний шаг или замрет на пороге?
