But Tessa has wanted to be an archaeologist for as long as she can remember, and knows these items of historical value belong back in a museum. 
Soon they discover that they are not the only ones who are after the treasure. They have to form a team and work together, because if the treasure falls into the wrong hands, it will disappear forever.
