After Ceiba warriors conduct a raid to destroy a government oil-drilling site in an Amazon rainforest preserve, a vengeful Captain of the elite Presidential Guard arrives in his helicopter and accuses the Ceiba of killing a jaguar on the preserve. A sergeant and private are ordered to stay behind under the guise of settling the dispute but their real orders include murder. Three wary young Ceibas, alert and cryptic, watch the soldiers' plan unfold. Understanding a direct confrontation would bring the wrath of the government down on their village, the only recourse for the young Ceibas is jungle justice.
