Tunnel worker Juan Gonzalez fails over and over at making something of himself. His wife belittles him. His daughter laughs at him. And his coworkers beat him. One night while drilling rock, he inadvertently opens a gold-laden cavern with a stone throne and demonic symbol. With the help of an Army buddy and a retired Catholic Cardinal, they learn this is the home of Apollyon, a demon the Vatican has chased for a thousand years. They also discover Juan's find wasn't by chance. The demon picked the born-loser to help him build his demonic army. All Juan had to do was steal and sell the gold, which he did.
