Minerals, greed and death - 150 years on and in a famous Welsh valley town and history is repeating itself.
Today, murderous fraudsters have replaced the Victorian slave-driving coal masters in a famous Welsh valley town. Jason Price and Declan Ryan, make an astounding discovery that will rock Blaenavon. Struggling to make ends meet, three hardworking, unsuspecting sheep farmers assume the disused coalfield grazing land they own on a mountainside is worthless.
A geology professor and his vicious land-grabbing associates possess incredible information, having secretly discovered that the farmland, which surrounds a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a geological freak. Scattered amongst the millions of tons of coal spoils are precious rare-earth mineral particles - worth more than gold. People are paying with their lives for their silence.
That is until Lauren Eaves, a gritty, young Australian geology student turns up to disrupt the fraudsters' plans, risking her own life in the process.
