Geo is a handsome 25-year-old Italian want-a-be aristocrat of 1465 that pines for a chance to trade in the riches of the Far East. An old Arab offers him a secret map to China that is his chance to gain wealth and power. The map is his special ticket to an incredible valley, where life is extended thousands of years.
