Meet Teller, A rough, but endearing Jack-of-all-trades who cannot seem to reconcile himself with the 21st Century.Feeling shackled by responsibilities and disillusioned by his business partner's greed, he walks away from his work, his love, and his home; and with that first step, his life becomes a wild romp through the Whitewater Canyons of the Southwest and into the history hidden within their shadows. From the Rocky Mountain town of Telluride, through New Orleans and on to the Florida Keys, Teller's winding road leads him back to Moab where his past and future intersect and where, on the banks of the Colorado River, fate intervenes and he is reunited with the woman he abandoned, introduced to an eccentric Archeologist, and realigned with an old friend: all while being thrust into a contest of wills with his devious ex-partner, as well as a murderous rival. Wth the discovery of a horde of gold and precious stones hidden by an escaped slave of the Spanish Crown, this humorous adventure mystery spins a complex web, encompassing Teller and his companions; as well as a group of 15th Century explorers, an ancient Shaman, and a Navajo Demigod who stirs the entire mix into a supernatural stew. The backdrop of this extraordinary journey is the beautiful and rugged Southwest. And as Teller's adventure becomes more complex he finds that nothing is as it seems, and that friends are sometimes found in the most unlikely of places.
