Episode list

Set against the background of South Africa's emerald coast and diamond mines, Diamond Hunters traces the torrid fortunes of a family unable to forgive and forget. Johnny, a successful diamond hunter, gets sucked back into a family that had been his own, before the patriarch, Jacob Van der Byl, abandoned him 20 years ago. Painful memories of an unjust father and a long lost love come back to reality as Johnny is pitted against his own half-brother Benedict in a fight over two women, a diamond empire and ultimately, his very survival. Played out over two episodes, Diamond Hunters describes Johnny's thwarted attempts to win the approval of Jacob, and the under-hand schemes by which the inimical Benedict plans to defeat him.

A checkered past full of deception and anger threatens to bring both a family and a diamond empire crashing to the ground in this absorbing mini-series starring Roy Scheider, Alyssa Milano, and Sean Patrick Flanery. Abandoned by his powerful father Jacob (Scheider) nearly twenty years ago, diamond hunter Johnny Lance (Flanery) returns to South Africa's Emerald Coast to confront a past that continues to haunt him. As simmering tensions quickly swell to a furious boil, Johnny must struggle not only to regain the empire he risked losing two decades ago, but to escape with his own life in a desperate attempt to impress Jacob and elude the vengeful wrath of his half-brother Benedict (Michael Easton).
