Cora retrieves her father's map and searches for sunstone.
Geology doctoral candidate Cora has spent a decade haunted by her father's disappearance beneath an Arctic volcano. When her mother prepares to marry Magnus, the magnate claiming ownership of the rare sunstone her father sought, Cora picks his strongbox the night before the wedding to reclaim the map. Evading security, she scrambles into the drilling vessel's cockpit and lands squarely in a stranger's lap. Dawn reveals him as Jack, Magnus's son and the expedition's pilot, now standing as best man. Suddenly step-siblings, they must pilot the dangerous descent into the volcanic crater together, hunting the mineral fortune that consumed her father.
