In Northern Ontario's muck, Denise Brûchet unearths Frank Prescot's watch-273 feet down, a ley-grid map worth trillions. What starts as Janet Prescot's $50M gamble explodes into a $20B race as mining giants-Suncor, Kuroda, BHP-vie for control, only to face governments-Ottawa, Beijing, DARPA-demanding it all. With VP Denise and ally Helena, Janet fights to guard Frank's dream, but the world closes in. In two weeks, a find sparks chaos-greed, seizures, near-war. Outmatched, Janet torches it, splits the fortune among her crew, and walks away with the watch-tasking Denise to write it for Frank. From a core shack to Calgary's ashes, this is Denise's tale: three women, coffee, pie, and a smile-survivors of a collapse they barely stopped.
