Their quiet life changes when they join a treasure hunt off the Washington coast. The group includes New Age believers who think medieval riches lie beneath the waves. Verity and Jonas must work together to find the treasure, but the search puts their relationship under pressure. Trust becomes harder when money and history collide.
