Synopsis:

Thirteen-year-old Ben finds himself in South America, in the heart of the Amazon jungle, and stumbling into an ancient mystery. Along with two local kids, he is determined to solve the trials of El Dorado, lift the curse and find his missing Dad. The pursuit of the legendary gold has taken many lives and there are spirits not at peace; supernatural powers that bind Ben to a mystical black jaguar. Through the trials, Ben must learn the importance of friends and realise that treasure isn’t always what you expect it to be.
