Special Agent Antonio Burns has come to Colorado for a family reunion of sorts. He and his father plan to confront Antonio's brother, Roberto, whose life is teetering on the wrong side of the law. For thirty years a father and his sons have shared an addiction to dangerous, extreme climbing in the world's most beautiful places. This just might be their last dance together.

On their first night in the valley, violence has erupted around the Burns men, as a bitter dispute between local activists and developers leaves a young man dead. When Roberto stands accused, Antonio knows he must find the real killer to clear his brother's name.

Now, with a beautiful renegade environmentalist by his side, Antonio embarks on a perilous journey through the jagged peaks -- where he will come face-to-face with a woman's secrets, a man's evil, and an amazing undiscovered treasure deep within a hidden labyrinth of caves.
