Ryan, 12, an inexperienced traveler from eastern Canada, meets up with Cudmore, a wily America of about 15, who is tracking down an amazing discovery in the Maya ruins. In trying to help Cudmore, Ryan finds himself alone in a strange city, unable to speak the language and pursued by not only special agents who want to arrest him but also mysterious strangers who want to kidnap him and force him to hand over a missing package they say he's stolen from them.
