In this investigative documentary, we go beyond the history books to uncover the Knights of the Golden Circle, a shadowy Confederate secret society. Using forensic geology and ground-penetrating radar, we explore hidden tunnels and decoded ciphers to reveal a plot aimed at more than just murder—the creation of a global Confederate empire fueled by millions in buried gold. This is the untold story of the American Civil War's greatest mystery.
