Matt is counting down the days until he turns sixteen.
He's been living with his foster parents in the Yukon River Valley in their isolated cabin. His plan is to leave. He is done with the harsh lifestyle and helping his abusive foster dad run the traplines so he can make money selling animal furs.
When Matt discovers a big and valuable gold nugget, everything changes. What seems like a dream come true and an easy way out quickly turns into a nightmare that will test Matt's wilderness survival skills to the fullest.---from the publisher
