It's one of the biggest, baddest dinosaurs of them all, and it last stalked the earth 65 million years ago. But down in the South Dakota Badlands, it's still raising a ruckus. There, at the base of a cliff on a Sioux reservation ranch, a commercial fossil dealer has made the discovery of a lifetime: a magnificent Tyrannosaurus rex fossil- the finest ever found. The problem is, everybody wants a piece of it: The tribal council. The Feds. The rancher. The lawyers. The scientists. After a surprise FBI raid, a battle for custody raged on. The ferocious fossil- dubbed 'Sue'- gets shut up in a warehouse, while her finders face a criminal trial and possible lock-up themselves.

Head out west and join the forces rallying to free Sue. Who will claim this $5 million treasure? Can scientist hope to compete with the profiteers? Are fossil rustlers jeopardizing the effort to document rare ancient bones? Will this case cause a crackdown on poachers- who have long fed museum collections around the world?
