The story is about a team of researches from
New York who went on an expedition to find an extremely rare flower for which they believe can extend humans life to the other side of the globe that is Southeast Asian tropical island of Borneo – Indonesia , but later hunted by anacondas
inhabiting the island. This film was shot in mangrove forest in Kalimantan, Indonesia.
