Two men. A corporate lawyer from Los Angeles to whom success has come easy and a former homeless child from the streets of Rio aching for the big money. Both are reaching for something impossible, something that has always eluded them. Success has come easily to a wealthy Los Angeles’ lawyer. He is riding high on a free-running global economy that has reordered the world. He cares little for the logic of global capital that has enriched him overpowering the ancient inertia of politics. He is preoccupied with expensive cars, trouble with women and mingling with the successful. Now he finds himself in the middle of the booming Brazilian gold rush 250 miles from Manaus down the Amazon, in a floating gold town named the Wolf’s Mouth. Cut off from civilization, he is suddenly confronted with the brutal nature of law and his own failures deep in the Brazilian rainforest. Somewhere in Los Angeles he has lost his purpose, pursued by dreams in the booming gold fields of the Amazon he will find it.
