In Southeast Asia off the island of Papua New Guinea sits Bougainville, an exotic land filled with volcanoes, waterfalls, rivers and one of the largest untapped gold reserves in the world. Guarding this river gold are crocodiles that have claimed the lives of many natives who ventured too close to the water's edge. Alaskan miner and fortune-seeker Farley Dean, whose family mine and business are drying up, must risk it all or go bankrupt. He and his crew search for gold on one of the most dangerous islands known to man.
