When debonair Dixon Hastings wins an ancient treasure map in a high-stake game of poker, he assumes it’s nothing but a worthless forgery. His impulsive brother Sam, however, convinces Dix that “X” might really mark the spot where the infamous pirate Killian Jack once buried the crown jewels of Spain – and even if it doesn’t, what better excuse could there be to spend some quality time together than a hastily planned treasure hunt in the balmy Caribbean?
But the moment the brothers begin their adventure, it becomes clear this journey will be anything but plain sailing. Joined by Sam’s long-suffering fiancée Amy, the Hastings brothers board the luxurious S.S. Adelina and immediately stumble into trouble. Sam’s reckless behavior quickly puts his relationship with Amy into jeopardy, while the normally implacable Dixon is thrown similarly off-kilter by the unexpected appearance of a jilted former flame. Throw in duplicity, dueling, and the arrival of some deadly real-life pirates and soon Sam and Dix find themselves wondering if their search for Killian Jack’s treasure might cost them their lives!
