Veronica D'Fazio was a city girl who had looked forward to a life and career within some major urban landscape, becoming an archivist at some important museum in Washington DC, or Boston, or New York. Jamie Yoder grew up rural Illinois and looked forward to farming and restoring vintage cars after finishing grad school. But both their lives were changed when Jamie discovered a long-forgotten tomb down by a creek on his family's farmland, complete with an embalmed mummy and gold artifacts. She was soon committed to examining, recording and publishing this discovery. Their partnership first stunned the general public with their internet videos and then later the academic world with their presentation at a prestigious archaeology conference. An unusual tomb such as this would have been enough to be notable, but indecipherable inscriptions found on a set of gold plates, just like those described by Joseph Smith in the 1830s grabbed the world's attention. But then, their lives were put on the line when a Mormon billionaire decides to suppress this discovery at all costs
