Jetta Mendoza Santiago is an international courier in a race against time. After successfully delivering a precious package from South America to Detroit, Jetta's client (Dracon Pharmaceuticals) rewards her by intentionally infecting her with a deadly viral disease. Dracon is conducting clandestine biomedical research in order to quickly develop a powerful new drug discovered deep in the Amazonian rainforest.
Jetta must now outwit Dracon and the wilds of Peru to find her cure.
The race intensifies as Jetta enlists every resource available ranging from Henry, a computer hacker, to Boa, a tribal shaman.
Dracon's competition has also gotten wind of the discovery and has hired a well-armed team to "ensure the company's competitive advantage."
The intense action culminates at Dracon's field operations site on a remote tributary of the Amazon. For Jetta, the options are win or die.
