As head of a specially trained task force, her role is to protect the Amazon from the farmers, loggers and miners who are illegally destroying the precious rainforest. It's a dangerous role and when she upsets some of these land grabbers, they decide to teach her a lesson by kidnapping her son, Carlos.
