A lurid, exploitation-tinged thriller that mixes Jonestown mythology with drug-war violence and jungle carnage, driven by sensationalism and action rather than depth.

A reporter and her cameraman connect a surviving Jonestown leader and a TV exec's missing son to a drug war where jungle installations are being massacred by an army of natives and a skilled white assassin.
