Beck, a bounty hunter who dreams of opening his own restaurant, is tasked with one final job before he can leave his life of violence behind. He must travel to Brazil to retrieve Travis, a fast-talking archaeologist and the son of a criminal kingpin who has gone searching for a treasured artifact in the Amazon jungle. Beck's straightforward mission quickly turns complicated as he discovers Travis doesn't want to be found and prefers chasing down the legendary El Gato do Diabo, a priceless golden idol, over facing his father's wrath back in the United States.

Upon arrival in the small town of El Dorado, Beck finds himself ensnared in a dangerous web of corruption and treachery. The town is under the control of Hatcher, a ruthless mining tycoon who will stop at nothing to claim the jungle's riches for himself, including the legendary idol. Beck, initially focused only on capturing Travis and returning home, soon finds his priorities shifting as he is drawn into the local struggle against Hatcher's tyranny. Despite their initial antagonism, Beck and Travis must team up to survive the jungle's many perils, including rebellious laborers, deadly creatures, and Hatcher's relentless pursuit. As they delve deeper into the heart of the Amazon, the unlikely duo discovers that their greatest challenge may lie in finding a way to trust each other.
