Legend has it that Aztec Indians used gold from their "El Dorado" claim to build their seven cities of gold. When the Spanish Conquistadores came to the Western Hemisphere in the 1520's, the Indians flooded their mine. Its location remained a secret until the days of the California Gold Rush, when the Dutchman Mining Company rediscovered it. After a short time a powerful earthquake caused the mine to become "lost" again.

Suddenly, on March 6, 1989, a surprising new discovery was made by two construction workers. This occurred at Fort Warren Naval Training Base. A Naval State-of-the-Art Facility located outside of San Diego, along the beautiful Pacific coast.

A secret covert operation was put in-place with government construction funds. Shortly thereafter, the discovery of an antique golden hourglass unlocks a tale of coverups, greed, kidnapping and murder! Both Naval and Civilian personnel face unusual challenges. They must make an ultimate sacrifice to appease an ancient Aztec curse.
