Gold Rush

Chronic-pushover Simon Talt needs to jumpstart his archeology career. Opportunity comes when he’s kidnapped, bundled into a Jeep en route to the Amazon, and shown a few photos of pre-Columbian carvings that may-or-may-not be a map. Soon, he and the friendlier of his kidnappers, a woman named Xayane, decide to follow the map on their own. This causes her overbearing and unpredictable older brother to start chasing them across Brazil.

Xayane Merces wants to prove herself in the eyes of her brother, Vitor, who runs their illegal gold mine in the jungle. Facing a kidnappee who wants to redirect her operation and her brother’s low expectations, Xayane decides to work with Simon rather than just control him. Trouble is, working with Simon erodes her brother’s trust, and he’s soon on their tail.

It might not be the archeology career Simon expected, but he’s beginning to enjoy the thrills of a treasure hunt–just so long as he doesn’t get shot for his troubles. For Xayane, she’s almost ready to put this life of crime behind her… unless she’s forced to turn her aim on her own brother.
