But there are those who have dedicated their lives to protecting it, and they will stop at nothing to prevent its discovery.Afraid for his life, Byrd calls Payne and Jones and begs for their help. Although they’ve never met him, Payne and Jones get involved when they learn a friend of theirs is in danger. Before long, they are swept up in an adventure of a lifetime, one that will rewrite history and change lives forever.
