Matthew McKitrick, an ordinary 'Joe' with a wife, a home and a job at CIA headquarters as a low security level programmer, is coerced by a desperate government into tracking down his evil twin brother. Cruelly seperated by a random kidnapping while very young, Matthew and his identical sibling find each other twenty-six years later. Saddam Hussein prepares for invasion. America gets ready for an oil war. Driven by commitment, Matthew begins a quest to find his brother Sean, who is discovered to be working for a notorious Iranian weapons dealer named Mahtob. This incredible journey takes Matt from the depths of fear to pinnacles of courage, and across two continents on the brink of Armageddon.

The year is 1929. Two sixteen year-old migrant boys, Charlie Griffin and Emerson Moore, find a huge gold nugget while working in South Carolina on the world's biggest earthen dam. Charlie is killed when the tunnel they are digging caves in. Emerson survives and keeps their discovery a secret. Seventy-three years later Blake Lubeck, a greedy and ambitious businessman, hears the legend of Lake Murray's gold. The earthen dam undergoes reinforcement because it lies on an earthquake fault. During construction the lake is lowered, exposing buried villages and Emerson's secret. With the help of a cruel hit man and a callous woman, Lubeck begins his campaign to become rich. In order to salvage the gold, he must dig under the dam without anyone knowing. Inevitably, someone finds out. Lubeck resorts to blackmail and murder to keep his secret. Two hurricanes and a ghost upset Lubeck's plans. Monsoon rains fill up the lake and threaten to breach the weakened dam. Will the courage of a young boy and his great-grandfather's spirit be enough to save a city from Gold's fool?
