A renowned adventurer leads a dangerous quest to find a woman's father, who disappeared in Africa while searching for the fabled mines.

Renowned gem hunter Guy Clutterbuck has put together an elite team to mine rubies, emeralds, sapphires and all manner of precious stones. The group of strangers -- an Aussie miner, an American engineer, an American gold prospector and explosives expert, and a British ex-Army mechanic -- risks their own money, time and reputations on Clutterbuck's promise of adventure, gems and big profits. Traveling from muddy pit mines of Madagascar to mountain caves of Colombia to the Arctic landscape of Greenland, the team takes on the elements, terrain, and even each other on their epic mission.

The drama of the 1890s Klondike Gold Rush plays out through the experiences of two adventurers.

As part of HBO's plan to showcase its popular international content, U.S. audiences are treated to this original HBO Europe production from the Czech Republic. The eight-episode psychological/crime drama tells of how a close-knit, multigenerational mining village is torn apart by the disappearance of a 14-year-old girl. It sets off a series of mysterious, shocking events that involve a foreign coal-mining operation and the town's mayor, Hana Sikorová, who is also the missing girl's mother. As Hana begins doubting and suspecting everyone around her, the once-peaceful community begins to fracture and residents start showing their true colors.
