When Andrés Ruso was still young and living in Peru, his grandfather told him a story that mentioned a strange detail - a boiling river in the Amazonian jungle. But why was it boiling? Twelve years later, at a family party, Andrés, now a young geologist, was told by his aunt that she had seen that incredible river with her own eyes.

To make sure that the bubbling river really exists, Rousseau goes deep into the Amazon. What he sees stuns him: in this long, wide, sacred river, the water is so hot that the local people brew tea with it, and animals die in an instant. How is this possible? Ruso's curiosity turns into an obsession: the scientist is eager to find out what makes the river boil. Exploring it together with the locals, including the shaman who has become his teacher, he finds himself facing difficulties he could never have imagined. Ruso is hampered by a conflict of interests: locals, illegal cattle ranchers, loggers, oil companies, and the government are all interested in this corner of the world where real boiling water flows. Having discovered the boiling river, the young researcher tries to overcome the scientific, political and personal challenges involved. Andrés Rousseau has to act contrary to his moral duty as a discoverer in order to protect the shrine from predatory use, abuse, and even his own temptations.
