Ex-MMA fighter and prospector Kru Williams, young explorer Taylor Starr and her father and master carver Don Froese, join seasoned legend hunter and mountaineer Adam Palmer to follow the path of a failed 1982 Vancouver news team led by a Slumach gold hunter and mystic dowser.

The final words of a lifelong gold hunter send Adam, Kru and Daryl Friesen through an icy gauntlet high above Pitt Lake. On the Gadsby claim, Kru and Daryl move earth in search of Slumach's walnut-sized gold nuggets, while Adam discovers a cave rumored to be Volcanic Brown's final resting place.
