Sheldan Gundry, a college drop-out down to his last few bucks. Sheldan had lost his job, been evicted from his room, and had no prospects for employment. While mulling over his situation he was approached by Brad Beltran, his estranged Aunt Carlie's financial manager. Beltran's assignment was to find Sheldan and give him a message. Sheldan's aunt was offering him an opportunity to become a wealthy young man if he would complete a project for her. But Sheldan's arrogance left Beltran less than totally impressed with the young beach bum who looked like a bronze Adonis with the mentality of Adonis' statue. And though Sheldan was his aunt's only living relative, he'd never been fond of her, and had no particular talent for completing her project. But in spite of his misgivings, he followed Beltran from Oahu's North shore back to the mainland to check out his aunt's offer...which led to a life threatening encounter with the dark side of his aunt's old mansion.
