Leaving everything behind, Carrie Mullen, a young scientist, travels to the Central American country of Belize. There she seeks out Don Rodrigo, one of the last Mayan healers who still practices the old ways. Convincing him to accept her help, they spend months together in the rainforest and Carrie marvels at the healing powers of plants. But when her aging mentor’s health starts to fail, she must move on. As her finances dwindle, she meets an expat tech millionaire who offers space to do research and she signs on. Working to set up a therapeutic haven, Carrie helps an ex-soldier with PTSD find relief in an ancient ayahuasca tea ceremony. But instead of using her talents to benefit others, Carrie finds herself caught in a web of conflicting and dubious schemes.
