During the California Gold Rush, two desperate prospectors search a remote mountain creek for gold. When Elias discovers a rich deposit and survives a near-fatal fall, he crawls back to their cabin with a shattered leg, a pouch of nuggets, and a strange talisman. As an unseen voice feeds his resentment and suspicion, Caleb struggles to save his friend while a suspicious creditor closes in. But Elias grows increasingly convinced that Caleb intends to steal his share, turning their hard-won fortune into a deadly struggle between two men who once trusted each other.
