Full plot (contains spoilers)
After Luke steals a painting in Thailand and later a second from a museum, he recruits his sister Charlotte to join his team, funded by a wealthy man named Owen Carver. The team follows clues hidden in six paintings, leading them to the wreckage of the Lusitania and eventually to the Wicked Bible in Vienna. They discover the Fountain of Youth is located beneath the Great Pyramid of Giza. In the pyramid, they face off against the 'Protectors of the Path' and Interpol. Inside the chamber, Charlotte realizes Carver is a fraud seeking power for himself. When Carver drinks from the Fountain, he is instantly drained of his life force because he sought it for himself alone. Luke refuses to drink, avoiding a curse that would have cost his sister and nephew their lives. The chamber is sealed, and the siblings are left to plan their next adventure.
