An adventure that stretches the limits of civilization, faith and passion. Small‑town fundamentalist missionaries Martin and Hazel Quarrier journey to the South American jungle to replace a Catholic mission slaughtered by the native tribe. They are dispatched by the self‑important Leslie Huben, who cares more about competing with Catholic rivals than the people he claims to serve. Hazel fears the Indians while Martin is fascinated.
