In the upper reaches of the Amazon River system a mammoth dam
called O Ecuador has been built to harness a wild tributary of the
Rio Negro. That, at least, is its stated purpose. In the process it
will flood a mountain valley where an elusive tribe of feared
headhunters called the Kuru still live in utter isolation. Even
FUNAI, the Brazilian Indian affairs bureau knows virtually nothing
about them. Millions have been spent to construct the dam. Billions
in gold are at stake. Jim Malloy is an American pilot on the run
from U.S. federal agents working as a cargo hauler to a logging
firm on the other side of the mountains from Cannibal Valley. His
meeting and subsequent rescue of a Kuru boy sets up a chain of
events which rapidly spins out of his control. Before he knows it,
Malloy is being coerced into flying a team of U.N. inspectors to
the dam site. He refuses, because he senses they're unlikely to
return. But when a beautiful FUNAI representative thinks Malloy is
the man for the job and Malloy's only friend, a hulking Polish
giant named Wall who believes there's a fortune to be had in the
going, makes it unanimous, he agrees. They are all three of them
right. Malloy is the man for the job. There's a fortune waiting for
those who can find it. And none of them are supposed to make it out
of Cannibal Valley alive.
