Sandra thinks she'll walk in and take over her uncle's estate but someone contests the will, claiming to be another relative and when her uncle's papers go missing from the lawyer's office she only has a limited time to prove she truly is the rightful owner. She finds papers relating to a buried treasure which her uncle was looking for before his death and Sandra believes strongly his death wasn't accidental and goes out in search for the treasure and her uncle's killer. Brent, the estate handyman and ex-lover whom she has not seen in years, helps her and in the process their relationship starts to take on a whole new dimension, taking up where they left off in college. The search for the treasure takes them on a trail round the town from a night visit to the cemetery, a hike through the wild countryside and trouble in an old disused mine in the hills overlooking the estate. All these trips are taken with Brent at her side but she is unsure who is behind the various attempts on her life - is it her long lost lover Brent, or the neighbours who continually stop by to see how she is? She will have to use all her keen skills to work out the clues and stay alive long enough to find the treasure.
