The film visits people, elements, spaces, and memories of the Boquira Mining. The reckless extractive exploration dug tunnels in search of iron ore, between the late 1950s and 1992. This contradictory practice put the small town in the interior of Bahia on the Brazilian socio-economic map, with one of the largest lead reserves in the country, in the 1970s. One of the consequences is a gray mountain of tailings that contrasts with a history of joys, good memories, and accidents.

When Travis, the mouthy son of a criminal, disappears in the Amazon in search of a treasured artifact, his father sends in Beck, who becomes Travis's rival for the affections of Mariana, a mysterious Brazilian woman. With his steely disposition, Beck is a man of few words -- but it takes him all the discipline he can muster to work with Travis to nab a tyrant who's after the same treasure.
