In the first episode, ex-businesswoman Mari leaves her home in Greenwich, overlooking the skyscrapers of London's Canary Wharf, for a new life in Ecuador, and a distant, isolated corner of the Amazon. Mari hopes the move to the wild with her native husband Kurikindi, and their five-year-old daughter Samai, will be a fresh start that brings the family even closer. Mari is only the second white person to have ever entered this remote region: a tiny community of just 26 people, where her husband is welcomed as the local shaman and the family aims to build an indigenous home on gifted land.
