- Summary
- Best friends Amy and Stacy (and their boyfriends Jeff and Eric) travel to Cancun, Mexico for a summer they'll never forget. On arrival, the Americans meet German tourist Mathias, whose brother Heinrich is missing. Last seen heading into the jungle with a beautiful woman to join an archaeological expedition to some Mayan ruins, Heinrich hasn't been heard from since ... although he did leave behind a crudely drawn map. -- Description by Dawn Towery
