Storyline
Four Atlanta businessmen decide to canoe down a river in the remote northern Georgia wilderness before it is dammed. Lewis, an experienced outdoorsman, is the leader; his close friend Ed has been on several trips but lacks Lewis’ machismo, while Bobby and Drew are novices. They’ll never forget that trip into the dangerous American back-country.

“To adapt a book successfully, you must be able to betray it. It's difficult to work on that.”
