Set in the Great Smoky Mountains, this tale follows a young, hot-shot pilot and a beautiful Native American girl as they search for a lost man and his treasure. When soldiers drove innocent Cherokees from their homes in 1838, some left behind a secret of hidden gold. Over a century and a half later, a prospector discovers some of the ancient treasure, but soon disappears himself. As the pilot and his companion search for the lost prospector, so does a murderous family clan and a group of cult members who will do anything their leader asks. As greed, violence, and deception erupt, the hunt becomes not only a fight against time, but also a fight to survive.
