When a storm hits a small and sleepy town, it ravages every living thing.

But storms don’t just destroy, they uncover. And when a young boy discovers a mysterious object that has lain hidden beneath a centuries old tree, he instantly knows that it’s special.

What he doesn’t know is that his unexpected find will unite him with a girl searching for her missing father and trigger a series of events that will see them travelling across countries under the most unusual circumstances.
