Max wants nothing to do with adventure after his sister died hunting for treasure with him in Mt. Denali. But, when he saves a man named George from a fight and learns of his plan to get this treasure for his dying mother, he had to help. Along the way, they enlist the help of two girls willing to fly them. Together, Max, George, Sky, and Paz form an almost unstoppable team. It becomes a race against time to get there first as they learn the people George was travelling with are looking for it too. They have to fight past traps, mazes, enemies, and their own personal demons before even getting to the treasure. But, what they find is not what they expected, nor is it even treasure, and this unstoppable team all but falls apart. Can they stop what they started? Or will evil win?
