They're soon snapping up land and soaking up the sun on Rio's beaches.

The son decides to indulge his flare for extreme sports on the waters of the Amazon. He hops a small plane from Rio to a remote village within the interior of the country, and soon sets sail.

Adrift on the Amazon, the young man loses his footing from the boat's floor and falls into the river. Without food, water, or more than a rough sense of the geography, he struggles to find his way to safety.
