16-year-old Harley Schultz and his father Dave are returning to the East Coast in search of the legendary civilization. A clue from the past has led them to Jamestown, Virginia, the site of the first permanent English settlement, and home to John Smith and Pocahontas. As father and son investigate, Harley continues to experience sensations of being shadowed by some unknown entity. In addition, he is considering the possibility that some sort of curse may be tormenting them. Unprecedented weather has plagued Harley and his parents over the past three years, and now a freak tornado rips through Jamestown, nearly killing Harley, his dad, and many others. With the destruction, however, comes another discovery. A second amulet, along with a 400 year old letter written by John Smith, verifies the existence of Atlantis. Just as it appears they are about to make an extraordinary discovery, all of Harley's fears and suspicions are confirmed, leading to horrific consequences. It seems that both man and nature are uniting to prevent Harley from ever discovering the truth. Will Harley fulfill his promise to solve the mystery of Atlantis?
