One August day in 2017, Christina Davies receives a life-changing message about her supposedly long-dead husband Cador. The Native American sender of that message claims to be in possession of documents and items that Cador has left to his son Jonny. One of these items turns out to be an unknown Gainsborough painting worth millions, and it hides a map with directions to a secret hideaway full of fabulous treasures. This map sets Jonny, Christina and her friends on a dangerous quest that will change their lives forever. But the painting is claimed by 'other parties' who want it because it clarifies ownership of land in Boston Massachusetts; ownership granted by King George II for services rendered by a direct relative of Jonny Davies - the pirate Captain Robert Davies. The land is also claimed by a Boston religious community that has become rich off the back of its ownership.
