Andrew Avelar is saddened by the sudden death of his great-grandfather, Guadalupe Robert Avelar. During the will reading, he inherits a journal which contains something so shocking, that neither he nor his family will be willing to understand. His great-grandfather’s life as a cartoonist has been a huge cover-up. His great-grandparents were one of the greatest treasure hunters who ever lived. In the journal, he is sworn not to tell anyone about his real occupation.
Upset of the truth, Andy agrees.
One week later, the truth of the journal’s contents is revealed with his U.S. history teacher who happens to read it. Determined to get the journal away from Andy and his family, the teacher is shot and killed by hulking assassin who is determined to steal the journal for his boss. Andy escapes and now finds out the journal left several clues to find one of the biggest treasures hidden since the Civil War.
The man who is now after Andy is the nephew of another well-respected treasure hunter, but this individual is known for killing others for the price of glory. The man, Richard Burke, is determined to get all of the riches to himself and claim back what originally belonged to him, as he believes.
With the help of his best friend, his bratty sister, a museum tour guide, and two detectives, they are now on the race to beat Richard Burke and find the treasure before he does. The hunt for the treasure becomes a perilous journey as they are trailed by the police, mercenaries, and Richard’s personal assistants. It’s a hunt that can either make Andy very rich… or cost him and his loved ones their lives!
