As he stepped off the elevator, the dreaded words reverberated through his body like a shock wave, "CODE BLUE, ICU!"

Takoda lost the love of his life that day, leaving him alone to raise his newborn daughter, Jeneva.

26 years later, she still endeavors to decrypt the connection between the three symbols on the bracelet her mother had predicted would lead her to her destiny. After a chance meeting, the improbable alliance of an archeologist and an astronomer join Jeneva on the seemingly impossible quest into unknown realms.

Tragedies, life-threatening events and an obsessed colleague attempt to ambush her journey, but Jeneva remains determined to fulfill her mother's prophecy.

While searching for a lost child in Ecuador, they discover a hidden cavern in the Hummingbird Pyramid. What they find in the cold dark tomb both terrifies and inspires them. They create an extraordinary worldwide challenge, rewarding the winner with a surreal experience everyone has wished for at least once in their life.

The final three contestants' stories reflect the willpower, determination, and perseverance it takes to succeed in the face of imminent danger, overwhelming obstacles, and personal loss.

Enjoy the journey!
