An Exhilarating Treasure Hunt with a Twist

This noir mystery thriller brings so much more to the table as Duke Dempsey finds himself in a race to find the long-lost treasure of Blackbeard before a mysterious secret religious cult. Jesse Gossett does a fantastic job as he brings Duke Dempsey to life in this riveting performance.

A noire at its best.

The story was excellent with just a touch of complexity. The narration was superb. The somewhat corny lines, which makes it a noire, were entertaining and made me giggle. No bad language!
