In season 2 episode 5 of I Shouldn't Be Alive, the focus is on a young American couple, Amy and Josh, who decide to embark on a kayaking trip through the dense Brazilian jungle. Despite being warned of the dangers of their chosen route, the couple remains confident in their abilities and sets off on their adventure.

The first few days of the trip go smoothly, with the couple enjoying the beautiful scenery and navigating the river with ease. However, things take a turn for the worse when they encounter a group of armed men on the riverbank. The men demand the couple's belongings and threaten them with violence if they refuse to comply. Amy and Josh are left shaken but unharmed, and they continue on their journey, now aware of the potential dangers that could be lurking around every bend.

As they travel deeper into the jungle, the river becomes increasingly treacherous, with rapids and obstacles posing a constant challenge. Despite their best efforts, the couple's kayak capsizes, and they are separated from each other amidst the rushing water. Alone and disoriented, they struggle to find each other and keep their heads above water.

After several hours of wandering through the jungle, Josh stumbles upon a small village and is taken in by the locals. Amy, meanwhile, is still lost in the jungle and becoming increasingly desperate and frightened. As night falls, she huddles under a tree, unsure of how much longer she can survive in the hostile environment.

Back in the village, Josh is treated kindly by the locals, who offer him food and shelter. However, he soon discovers that the village is also home to a group of drug traffickers who use the area as a base of operations. Josh knows that he is in a dangerous situation and must find a way to escape before he is discovered by the traffickers.

Meanwhile, rescue teams are mobilized to search for Amy in the jungle. Despite the difficulty of the terrain and the dense vegetation, they remain optimistic and determined to find her. As the search continues, Amy must rely on her own resourcefulness and survival skills to stay alive in the jungle.

Ultimately, both Amy and Josh are faced with life-or-death situations as they struggle to survive in the Brazilian wilderness. The episode highlights the importance of being prepared for unexpected circumstances and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
