It is 1519 and two intrepid Portuguese seafarers set off on separate missions to different parts of the globe. Their journeys intersect with the European discovery of 'The Great South Land'.
Manny Perez, young and adventurous, and Cristo de Mendonça an older, experienced naval officer, become friends and agree to map the east coast of this wild continent, unknown to white people.
Danger and death await on land and sea as the explorers make contact with the indigenous people of this strange new place, and face the worst that nature can hurl at their ships.
Lost, re-drawn, then stolen, Manny and Cristo's precious maps become a treasure sought after in a race between empires.
Heroism, tragedy, and intrigue reverberate all the way through history, leading to the discovery of a secret lying buried beneath modern Australia's coastal sands.
