The River

The creators of Paranormal Activity join forces with DreamWorks and Michael Green (Heroes, Kings) for a new thriller that takes you deep into the unknown, where the only thing darker than family secrets is the mystery at the heart of the Amazon - mystery that may just have you believe there's magic out there. Famed explorer Dr. Emmet Cole (Bruce Greenwood) went looking for magic deep in the uncharted Amazon and never returned. Now, the shocking truth about his disappearance is out there, somewhere, just waiting to be discovered. To the millions of kids who grew up watching his nature show, Dr. Cole was a hero. To his own son Lincoln (Joe Anderson), he was more of an enigma. Now, six months after he vanished, Lincoln is finally ready to bury the past when Dr. Cole's emergency beacon suddenly goes off. At the urging of his mother Tess (Leslie Hope), Lincoln reluctantly joins her on a search for his father.
