In an unnamed South American nation, a prisoner escapes into the jungle, only to be struck by an unseen assailant whose attack leaves much of his face torn away. The harsh, enveloping jungle sets a tense stage for the story to unfold.
Anthropologist Evelyn Howard Deborah Raffin decides to search for her missing colleague Dr. Eslinger, who vanished while chasing the rumors of the Duende—a a rumored tribe of dwarfish, winged reptiloids (reptile-like people). To reach the dangerous interior, she hires an alcoholic helicopter pilot, Harry Bediker Peter Fonda, to fly her into the heart of the jungle. The mission is not just professional curiosity but a race against time and danger, wrapped in a search for truth about the mysterious tribe.
