When plumber Serapio Trevino discovers 570 gold coins buried beneath a Texas house during a routine repair job, he believes he's found the answer to a lifetime of financial struggle. The coins-dated from the 1890s to 1929 and worth nearly half a million dollars-have been hidden under cast iron pipes since 1912, forgotten by time and everyone who ever lived there. But claiming the treasure proves far more complicated than finding it. The homeowner, Alejandro Luna, insists the coins belong to him, spinning a desperate story about his father's gift and his own burial for safekeeping. Gloria Guzman Luna, the elderly daughter of the doctor who built the house ninety years earlier, emerges with her own claim-and haunting memories of her father telling her about gold buried beneath the kitchen floor, meant to secure her future and care for her disabled brother. Three parties. Three claims. One fortune.
