When fifteen-year-old Seph escapes his shabby Florida home for his own safety, he finds himself inheriting a sloop that seems to be itching to explore the Caribbean. With only the motherly boat and a reliable macaw as his companions, he falls in love with his new home on the sea and refuses to change anything.
An adventure lands in his palm when his parrot finds a mysterious object that may be valuable. In a seedy island trading town, he meets a fresh museum scholar named Asa, who is tracking clues to a similar object. Lisiabet, a questionable teenage pirate with a loyal crew, brings her own relic and experience to the game, though she may not be trustworthy.
Do the strange objects lead to treasure? The greedy explorer Eduardo is hopeful, and his deadly reputation threatens the young team's quest. Who will win this perilous competition? A partnership with the disgusting pirate Spotted Tom might be the key, but whose side is he on? Will Seph learn to trust anyone? Or should he dismiss the opportunity for new, colorful friendships?
