When her boyfriend dumps Emily, a spontaneous woman in her 30s, she persuades her ultra-cautious mom to accompany her on a vacation to Ecuador. When these two very different women are trapped on this wild journey, their bond as mother and daughter is tested and strengthened while they attempt to navigate the jungle and escape.

Plot

Freshly dumped by her musician boyfriend and fired from her job, all on the same day, suddenly, the rudderless thirtysomething, Emily Middleton, finds herself with two non-refundable tickets to Ecuador. Finding hard to swallow that she is about to lose the trip of a lifetime, Emily turns to the only person left to come with her: her idiosyncratic, phobic, and cat-loving mother, Linda. But, there, the dream holiday soon turns into an Equatorial nightmare when the mother-and-daughter duo ends up conned and abducted in broad daylight. Now, to stay alive, scaredy-cat Linda and impulsive Emily will need to set aside their differences, and like a fish out of water, navigate through dense jungle thickets. But, can they make it happen?
