New York History Museum associate curator Will Medina is smashed when a gargoyle on his building falls on him. Rupert Bentley, financier of Medina's successful expedition for the tomb of legendary Mayan king Kan-Xul, insists it must be the curse. The members of the expedition are send cards in a Mayan language warning of death if the artifacts are not returned. After Castle incurs the curse, superstitious jokes, fear and pranks abound. Suspects for Will's murder include museum staff, Mayan heritage activist Cacaw Te and a contraband dealer.
