Just before the onslaught of Hurricane Mitch, archaeologist Juana Sanchez sets off for Guatemala in search of a legendary blue jewel, the Queen Jade. Her worried and considerably less adventurous daughter Lola, a California bookstore owner, subsequently launches an expedition to find her missing mother, a journey which will prove to be both dangerous and personally revelatory.
