After a sheriff's deputy finds a woman zip-tied and frantic on the side of the road in the Mojave Desert in 2012, authorities discover this may have been a grisly crime in pursuit of a suspected buried treasure. This discovery kicked off a years-long investigation that spanned sting operations, an international search, a prison break captured on cellphone, and a courtroom showdown between lead prosecutor Matt Murphy and the man authorities believed was pulling the strings in a twisted game of greed and violence - Hossein Nayeri.
