Jack and Peter Strong are exploring a South American river hunting for rare specimens when they discover an impossibility: a river flowing uphill, powered by a giant pump hidden within a secret tunnel. Swept into an underground city run by the advanced Marva civilization, the brothers must navigate exotic dangers and find a way to escape before they're used as test subjects for the Marvas' dangerous experiments at the Earth's center. With help from a fellow prisoner, they race to reach daylight and make it back to the river—if the path out doesn't kill them first.
