Deep in the heart of the Amazon jungle, far from the constraints of civilization, the wild and lawless town of Helldorado attracts only the most daring of visitors -- and the most foolhardy.

When Travis, the son of an underworld kingpin, disappears in the Amazon in search of a priceless artifact, Beck, the Kingpin's retrieval expert, is sent to get him. Despite their hostility -- and their love for the same woman -- the two must eventually join forces to fight the evil head of a gold-mining corporation who is after the same treasure.

But the jungle holds many dangers, as does the greed of Helldorado's ruthless inhabitants. Will Beck find treasure at the end of his perilous quest -- or only a swift and brutal death?
