Nine year old Ben Connor has hit the jackpot. Hidden within a box of cereal are the exact longitude and latitude coordinates for a geocache that holds ten thousand dollars. He grabs a G.P.S. unit and makes a deal with his aunt to split the money if she agrees to be his taxi. But could this treasure hunt be too good to be true? And did he really read those instructions correctly? If not, who is behind this dangerous scavenger hunt? Using G.P.S. navigation, Ben and his adventurous aunt locate clues using longitude and latitude coordinates. What is supposed to be a short, safe trip ends up being a dangerous, exhausting and hilarious adventure exploring various landmarks throughout the state of Oregon. Through struggles and challenges Ben is forced to confront some of his biggest fears, both physical and emotional. He is helped along the way by a mysterious figure, who only he can see, and although he wants to trust, he finds it difficult as his life is put on the line time and time again. As if dealing with their problems wasn't bad enough, the pair realize they're being followed. They want to give up, but are forced to continue. Will the prize money be worth it?There's only one way to find out!
