Elisa Esposito, a mute orphan, works the graveyard shift at Baltimore’s Occam Aerospace Research Center. One fateful night, she discovers the Center’s most sensitive asset ever: an amphibious man, captured in the Amazon, to be studied for Cold War advancements. Using sign language, the two learn to communicate and eventually fall in love. Richard Strickland, the obsessed soldier who tracked the asset through the Amazon, wants nothing more than to dissect it before the Russians get a chance to steal it. Elisa has no choice but to risk everything to save her beloved.
