Perry Ellis's life looks like a complex jigsaw puzzle with pieces scattered about and no clear picture of how to return to the contentment he enjoyed early in life.

As Perry slips into despair following the death of his wife, he decides to take his own life. He quickly ends the suicide attempt, however, when he envisions how his brother, Clark, will react upon finding him.

Perry assumes an alias (Chance Evers) to reinvent himself and seek atonement for a recent transgression against the family construction business. The journey of atonement begins when he encounters a veteran adventurer with a history of uncovering sunken treasure from old shipwrecks in Florida.

The price of adventure is steep, prompting Perry to illicitly withdraw half of an emergency fund from the coffers of the family business. Clark's discovery of yet another desperate choice by Perry sets the brothers on a collision course.

The moment of truth arrives with a meeting in Florida and allows Clark to become unburdened of a secret he vowed never to reveal. The revelation inspires the brothers to want to restore what was buried beneath a lifetime of lies.
