In the early morning of March 6, 1836, the Mexican
army
storms the Alamo and kills every one of the defenders except
William
Barret Travis's young black slave named Joe. Although General
Santa
Anna vows to keep him alive, a fearful Joe escapes away in the
night
carrying a prize far more valuable than anything inside the creaky
Spanish mission.
Fast forward to September 2013. Joe's modern descendant, a 93-
year-
old World War II veteran living alone in Brewton, Alabama is dying
after being attacked by intruders. With his last breath, the old
man
defiantly shouts, "Come and take it!" And with his death, the last
living person who knows about Joe's prize is gone forever.
While investigating the old man's death, grandson Nat uncovers
clues
about a long-hidden secret dating back to the Alamo. With the help
of
a beautiful history professor named Renee, Nat begins to unravel
the
mystery of his grandfather's murder, and in the process discovers
another mystery of far greater scale--the long lost treasure of
the
Alamo.
