The Three Rats of Washington

Four acquaintances bury a large chest in a park in Washington state with the promise there will be a payoff in five years.

Bert convinces three guys he met in Seattle to drive with him to Olympic National Park and bury a chest of unknown contents. All he says is, "If we can keep this a secret, Ive got a buyer in five years. Payout will be enough we wont need to work ever again. Bryce, Troy, and Ryan, seeing an opportunity to get rich, go all in.

A couple months from payoff, Ryan ends up dead as a warning: give us our chest or end up like him. Can Bert keep his acquaintances in line, or has his past caught up to him?

One chest. Four strangers. One hell of a gamble.
