The River: Magus

When TV naturalist Emmet Cole disappears in Brazil, he is declared dead after six months. However, his wife Tess detects a GPS beacon signal from him and a network camera crew agrees to accompany her on the search for her husband. However, they will only finance the trip if Emmet's son Lincoln goes with her. The crew go down the Amazon River and follow the GPS beacon, but find far more than they are counting on when they unearth a spectral creature.
