GOLD MAN

"What is someone willing to sacrifice for inheritance, reputation, and the family's future?"

SCROLL

Gold Man

As CEO of Sceptre Gold, Harry Howitzer has wealth, power, and a family legacy nearly fifty years in the making. But when a mysterious chemical spill occurs at the company’s Northern British Columbia mine, Sceptre is thrown into crisis. Racing back to Vancouver, Harry crashes his private plane deep in the Great Bear Rainforest. He survives, but a haunting encounter in a remote longhouse leaves him forever changed.

Back home and seeking rational answers, Harry is blindsided by his father’s sudden death. The tragedy unearths long-buried family secrets that threaten everything the Howitzers claim as theirs.

And someone else knows the truth.

As the legacy begins to unravel, enemies close in on Sceptre and a powerful Indigenous spirit bound to the Howitzers is determined to bring Harry to ruin. With his company, reputation, and sanity at stake, how far will Harry go to protect the empire his family built?

Where the Story Lives

Set against the vast wilderness of British Columbia's West Coast — the ancient forests of the Great Bear Rainforest, the remote highlands of the Golden Triangle, the deep cultural landscape of Haida Gwaii — Gold Man is a story shaped by place as much as by people.

A third-generation gold mining dynasty. A family fortune with secrets buried deeper than any mine shaft. And forces older than the family itself, watching from the forest.
