In the misty waters of the Puget Sound, four brothers begin their summer with dreams of freedom and adventure. When Oliver, (16), Filip (14), Samuel (11) and William (9) take their sailboat out for a sail, they discover the uninhabited Skull Island and their curiosity leads them to an old, cryptic map tied to a decade-old $30 million jewelry heist.
Teaming up with Oliver’s classmate, Mackenzie—an expert in local legends and ciphers—the trio of teens sets out to crack the code and uncover the hidden fortune. But what begins as an exciting summer mystery quickly spirals into a deadly chase. Someone else is hunting for the treasure. Someone who knows the boys are close. And someone who will do anything to make sure they never leave Skull Island alive.
