Plot
Sam and Remi Fargo embark on a new quest to uncover a lost treasure, this time artifacts that vanished with the fall of the Russian Romanov dynasty. Their search leads them across northern Africa, Europe, and South America. However, they are not alone in their pursuit. A shadowy organization known as the Werewolves is also seeking the treasure with the aim of establishing a Nazi Fourth Reich. Sam and Remi must be vigilant, unsure of who they can trust in this treacherous journey.
