The annual camping trip of the children from First Creekwood Church starts out all too innocently. However, the fun does not last long as trouble, unfortunately, soon finds the kids. Meanwhile an older man who reluctantly went along as a chaperone of the group discovers, while escaping the threats, a much bigger treasure than he could have imagined.
The author begins with the intriguing circumstances of a poor orphan turned millionaire once he is an adult, and what leads to his future adoption of an orphaned girl he takes on as his daughter. The story is interesting enough with just this beginning, but a series of events turns the story into a thriller that keeps the readers interest and gives the reader a desire to read on.
