An ancient prophecy. A chance to find the greatest of all treasures. A group of unlikely adventures out to get the job done, and go on a roller coaster ride with several empty seats, which start to fill up along the way, on a journey unlike anything any of them could have ever imagined, or any of them will ever forget. Enter Edith Michaels, her son Jack, and grandson Toby, the boy whose special gift gets the wheels turning with the help of a medallion passed down through the ages, which, thanks to Jack and his light fingered nature, ends up around his neck. Crime, lies, betrayal, love lost, love found, violence, fortunes won, fortunes lost, this story has it all, and that's just Jack's private life. There's action and adventure too, as Mrs. Michaels, the hard as nails grandmother who doesn't pull her punches, either verbally, or physically, does her best to look after Toby, keep him clothed and fed, and at the same time does her best to keep Jack out of a prison cell, which is hard at the best of times. This is no roller coaster ride at any amusement park though, and if you want to go along for the ride, buy a ticket, strap in, and keep cross you're fingers crossed, because this one might just come off the rails.
