It's been archaeologist Dr. Socorro "Corrie" Mejia's life goal to lead an expedition in search of the long-lost remains of Chimalli, a warrior of the Aztec empire. But when she is invited to join an all-expenses-paid dig to do just that, Corrie is sure it's too good to be true . . . and she's right. Corrie should be leading the expedition, not sharing the glory with her nemesis, Dr. Ford Matthews. But as the dig begins, it becomes clear they'll need to work together when they realize a thief is lurking around. With money-hungry artifact smugglers, the Mexican authorities, and the lies between them closing in, there's only one way this all ends - explosively.
