Preview: Take A Walk on the Wild Side with ABC’s Creepy New Thriller THE RIVER


 
When a famous television explorer goes missing in the Amazon, his wife and son vow to find out what really happened to him.  Funded by the same reality TV company that provided the financial backing for Dr. Cole prior to his disappearance, the expedition becomes a tug-of-war for exclusive, full-access to the family’s grief and the increasing uncertainty every step of the way.  But the farther they venture into the deep, treacherous jungle, the more everyone begins to realize that this journey is not just about a missing man — but what he found out there. 
 
Tensions continue to rise as a few jumpy cameramen, fragile family members strained by not knowing what happened, and some genuinely spooky events take them to the breaking point.  When traveling that far into the untamed wilds of the Amazon, no one knows exactly what they will find.  That was Dr. Cole’s quest.  He wanted to find out what was at the ends of the earth – what secrets does the lush overgrowth cover from the prying eyes of outsiders?  Is it a lost tribe, haunted spirits, or something else entirely?  One thing is for certain:  nothing is exactly what it seems and it is much, much more dangerous.
