A notorious treasure hunter and tomb robber, Maxwell Broadbent has buried himself and his treasures somewhere in the world as a final challenge to his three sons. If they wish to claim their inheritance, they must find their father's concealed tomb. Maxwell's priceless possessions include a codex—an ancient Mayan manuscript containing lost arts of Mayan herbal medicine worth billions. A pharmaceutical company CEO has sent mercenaries after it, and others soon join the hunt for the grave goods.
