After encountering Benito, a boy who looks strikingly similar to himself, Toby gets on a plane and somehow arrives not in Canada, his intended destination, but in Nicaragua. Here he is met by the boy's nefarious, gun toting uncle who takes him captive. Escaping into the jungle, Toby soon ends up at the village where Benito's uncle is keeping Gwen, a rich young girl, hostage. Gwen and Toby attempt their escape together with the help of a native girl, Rebeca. Through the challenges and deadly adventures they face, the characters form a bond as they each journey through their own faith.
