A sixteen-year-old life is turned upside down when he uncovers his family's missing million-dollar fortune. While his mother worries about the corrupting influence of such immense wealth, a far greater threat looms-his villainous and greedy stepfather, who devises a cunning scheme to get his hands on the inheritance by luring the boy and his mother aboard a schooner under false pretenses.
What begins as an exciting prospect of purchasing a yacht quickly turns into a desperate fight for survival when the boy realizes they've been kidnapped. Trapped on the open ocean with cunning criminals, he must rely on his courage and wits to protect his mother, outsmart their captors, and escape a sinister plot.
This thrilling tale of adventure, betrayal, and high-seas danger chronicles one young man's battle against a formidable foe who will stop at nothing to claim a fortune that isn't his.
