Emily Blunt portrays Dr. Lily Houghton, a progressive British researcher in search of “The Tree of Life,” a centuries sought-after conifer that bears all-curing blooms during a particular moon. She hires Captain Frank Wolff (Dwayne Johnson), an Amazon scallywag who knows the dangers of the river better than anyone and has himself searched many times for the mystical tree. As the legend and lore of the tree continues to offer them clues, there’s more to Frank’s past than anyone knows and this time he’ll get closer than ever to locating the tree.
