The problem is the whole thing is a scam, and when Hannah sets out to uncover whos behind it, she discovers that things are even worse than she thought. The museum scam is a front for a real estate power play, her entire village is in danger of being wiped outand the forces behind it have no intention of letting anything, or anyone, stand in their way.
