From breaking into high-security military research facilities to conning the iCity elite, there isn't a lock they can't pick, a safe they can't break, or a hidden treasure they can't find. Until now. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Returning from a harrowing heist involving a neon battery and a trash chute, Grey and his crew are approached by Dalia, the immortal daughter of the infamous ArchGovernor--and she has an offer. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The job? Locate and steal the Stones of Indigo--seven fabled rocks invested with godlike power. The search for the first stone is a bona fide treasure hunt, guided by an ancient map to a deadly, uncharted island that's protected by a mysterious guardian. The score? One million credits per crew member, per stone. The catch? Well, that's where things get a little complicated. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The stones don't exist. They're a myth.
