Ricky Rayburn has a theory about life. There are adventurers, like Indiana Jones, his dad, and sister. But he's not. Maybe the adventurer gene skips a generation?
Summer vacation is off to a terrible start when Ricky's family takes a trip to the Mojave Desert. His dad must embark on another "work vacation" and Ricky's not invited, again. But in between swimming at the motel pool, miniature golfing, arguing with his sister about a mythical boyfriend, danger strikes, and everything changes.
Ricky is the only hope of saving a desert town from destruction and becoming the adventurer he always dreamed of. Will he harness the adventurer spirit or fail and prove his life theory right? Follow Ricky's hilarious journey in proving his adventurer family wrong, saving a town, and hoping to make it home to start the sixth grade.
