In a clandestine commando raid during the Spanish civil war, over $5 billion in gold is stolen to assure Franco's fascist victory, but the gold vanishes without a trace.
More than 80 years later, Will McLaren follows a trace after his unknown father to southern Spain, only to get caught up in a web of family secrets, Colombian drug lords, organized crime, and murder. To survive, Will must bring down his family's crime syndicate and find the lost treasure; Franco's lost gold. Before the dark forces, seeking a new fascist era, finds it.
It tells the story of Will, who grew up under grim circumstances with his mother's new husband and step-siblings. Surviving that horror, especially after his mother's death, he left for good. Not knowing who his real father was, his only clue has been a necklace given to him under strange circumstances one Christmas. Living a nomad life after a military career, he works as a dive instructor in Belize when he receives a call. He learns that the man who probably is his father is on his death bed in southern Spain. Will decides to leave his life in Cay Caulker and follow the trail, trying to understand why he was left as a child. Well in Spain he is immediately drawn into the fight between law enforcement and local mafia. It turns out there is more to his family story than he could fathom; the secret of what happened to Franco's lost gold as well as his uncles having put a death sentence on him and his father. Teaming up with newly found friends, the only course of action to survive is to both put a stop to the most powerful and politically supported crime syndicate in Spain, and at the same time finding the 100 tonnes of gold stolen during the start of the Civil War. Behind the mafia, shadowy figures lurk with totally different intentions...
