Dani is one of a group of friends who, while hiking in the Superstition Mountains, stumble upon an ancient treasure. The treasure comes with a dire warning, a curse associated with it, and tales of death that befell those who tried to possess it. The group dismisses the warning as ignorance of the time centuries ago, believing the deaths mentioned could be explained away with much more logical reasons not understood in that day. However, when shortly after the find a series of apparently tragic accidents begin to occur to members of the hiking party, the curse gains more consideration by some. Detective Salazar is not among those who find the curse a plausible explanation for the accidents, wondering instead if the valuable find may be the cause of them. As the number of accidents grows, he begins to wonder if Dani or her boyfriend, Travis, may be connected to the accidents. After all, he believes in greed but not curses, right up till the end.
