Investigating a spreading dead zone of poisoned water in the Caribbean, Dirk Pitt uncovers a rogue mining operation and a post-Castro struggle for the control of Cuba. Meanwhile his children chase an Aztec stone across Mexico that points to Montezuma's lost treasure - a trail that draws the whole family into the heart of Havana.
- 1The Caribbean
NUMA's Dirk Pitt investigates a dead zone of poisoned water spreading through the Caribbean - and finds a rogue mining operation venting mercury from the sea floor and killing everything around it.
- 2Mexico
Pitt's children, Dirk and Summer, follow a clue of their own into Mexico, chasing an ancient Aztec stone that maps the hiding place of Montezuma's lost treasure - long believed destroyed with the battleship Maine in 1898.
- 3Havana
Both trails converge on Havana, where a ruthless minister schemes to seize power in a post-Castro Cuba - and where the Pitts, reunited, must survive a violent struggle for a nation, a treasure, and their own lives.
