A patrol of Boy Scouts assists a retired officer in recovering a stolen cipher and the treasure it hints at, taking them to a mountain camp where they confront car chases, fire, abduction, storms on the water, drifting and lost canoes, cave passages, and a living tomb.

Episodic chapters mix action set pieces with practical improvisation and camp life, keeping tension focused on the cipher’s recovery and the challenges of survival in rugged terrain.
