==Plot synopsis==
As the final images of a falling satellite are beamed back to NASA, they show previously unseen areas from deep in the Bangallan Jungle. To the casual observer, these may have been seen as interesting, to Hoagy, a former fisherman who has heard tales of this area, they could be life changing. He has heard stories of a [[The Skull Cave]] filled with treasure, and with a wedding that he can’t save for and a (soon to be brother-in-law) in need of expensive medical treatment, the lure of riches is too much for Hoagy to ignore. But to get there he will need help, so when a mysterious figure agrees to finance the expedition, Hoagy goes all in. Unfortunately, this mysterious financier has more on his mind than just treasure. What is he truly after? Will The Phantom be able to stop him? What has Hoagy gotten himself into? Will he ever see his fiance again?
