THE CALIFORNIOS

Capt. Sean Mulkerin returned from the sea to find his family's Malibu ranch in jeopardy. The death of Sean's father had pushed the Mulkerins to the edge of financial ruin. Now it's up to Sean to find a way for them to hold on.

Rumor has it that the elder Mulkerin had found the gold in the wild and haunted California hills, but the only clue to its whereabouts lies with an ancient, enigmatic Indian. Furthermore, Sean is surrounded by creditors, greedy neighbors, and ruthless gunmen watching his every move.

When Sean and his brother set forth to retrace their father's footsteps, they know they are in search of a questionable treasure — with a ghostly figure as their only guide. Before they reach their destination, the Mulkerins will test both the limits of their faith and the laws of nature as they seek salvation in a landscape where reality can blur like the sand and sky in a desert mirage.
