A young man with salt in his blood dreams of life on the sea. When he joins a freighter bound for the South Pacific, he begins a journey that tests both courage and grit. Off course after a storm, the ship stumbles across the wreck of a long-lost bark-and with it, the rumor of hidden treasure. As questions mount about a vanished cargo of platinum, the boy is drawn into a mystery that may tie back to his family's seafaring past. Exotic ports, dangerous weather, and a string of strange events steer him toward an island that might not appear on any map. But even if the treasure is real, others may be hunting it too.
