Corky is trying to unravel the mystery of Nels Nelsen, a unique Oldtimer and gold miner and trapper. He lives by Iliamna Lake and is always protecting his privacy and history.

She is the only pilot that Nels will allow to fly his gold to a special assayer in Anchorage.

Soon an unexpected event occurs that will forever change her life.

The Oldtimer turns out to be far more interesting than any typical Alaskan gold prospector!
