PRESS RELEASE
The grandson of a man framed for murder 70 years ago persuades Sydney (Tia Carrere) to locate Al Capone's diamond encrusted gun, which he hopes will clear his grandfather's name. Sydney uncovers a lot more than she bargained for in a Chicago hotel formerly frequented by Capone and his mobsters, while Nigel (Christien Anholt) discovers life beyond the books in the form of Lori (Michelle Nolden). With Capone's fabled lost bunker booby-trapped - in deadly fashion - to keep its secrets save, the question remains: Will Sydney, Nigel, and Lori escape, or leave their bones to be unearthed by future Relic Hunters?
