Sheldan Gundry, a college dropout and down to his last dollar, had just lost his job, been evicted from his one room shanty and had no prospects for employment. He was mulling over his bleak situation when he was approached by Brad Beltran, his aged Aunt Carlie Maxwell’s financial manager. Beltran had been offered an assignment to find Sheldan and give him a message: Aunt Carlie was offering Sheldan—her only living relative—an opportunity to become a wealthy young man; but first he had to complete a monumental task for her. Sheldan had never been fond of his aunt Carlie, and in his youth she had held him in even less esteem. Nonetheless, in spite of his misgivings about his aunt’s offer, and because Brad Beltran had a gorgeous daughter he wanted to meet, he followed Beltran from Oahu’s North shore back to the mainland to check out his aunt’s offer. That offer led Sheldan to an astounding encounter with the dark side of his aunt’s old mansion, and a life threatening confrontation with an unresolved issue from his past, one that he had not anticipated and definitely wasn’t prepared to deal with.
