Two life-long friends lead a daring expedition deep in the 
Australian Outback, to find a legendary, multi-billion-dollar 
fortune in gold and solve a 100-year-old mystery. In 1897 
gold prospector, Harrold Lasseter, staggered out of the 
desert claiming to have discovered a massive outcrop 
of gold. Decades later, he set out to rediscover his lost
fortune, alone he perished in the desert, taking the 
location of his gold to the grave.
Six outback missions and 40 years later, Jeff and Brendan 
are more determined than ever to find Lasseter’s gold and 
prove that he was telling the truth. Now with specialist 
help and cutting-edge technology, they plan to retrace 
Lasseter’s fateful 1930 expedition, scouring the Outback 
for clues that Lasseter left behind that will lead them to 
his fortune. Their quest: survive the outback, discover the 
truth…and just maybe become billionaires in the process!
