A team of doctors embark on a local mission in the Amazon rainforest, but it soon becomes clear that not everybody - or everything - is happy to see them. Their sudden appearance draws the attention of an animal predator, the "Boiúna".

Star Jessica Rothe briefly spoke about the film recently, referring to it as a "grittier" version of another upcoming giant snack movie (Anaconda). Here's what she had to say: "So, what I think is really cool about 'Titan' and the 'Anaconda' reboot coming out at the same time is, I don't know, I haven't read the Anaconda reboot script, but it looks like a freaking blast. A comedy. Jack Black, Paul Rudd, give me more, I want all of it. I want to take a bath in that. But our movie is much more like if 'Sorcerer' met 'Anaconda,' so it's gritty and real. It's about a group of, like, doctors without borders who go down and spend a lot of time, and just happen upon a force they weren't expecting. And Mike. P. Nelson, our director, is just so amazing, another incredible cast on the back of that one, and so, I haven't seen it yet, but all of the things I've seen and even filming it, we went down to the Amazon to shoot it. So I got to go on rainforest tours and drive around on a boat! So who doesn't want to do that?" (10/13/25)
