Prior to his disappearance, he handed his daughter Tina a map leading to the ancient, forgotten ruins of Ukampa Temple in South America, along with a letter cautioning that danger lurks at every turn. In his message, he issued a challenge to his estranged son, Aban Hawkins: to brave the perilous ruins in pursuit of a fabled treasure said to be hidden beyond the Golden Door of Poko-Mum. Can Aban endure the relentless dangers of Ukampa and finally outshine the legendary figure of his father?
