Two teenagers.
One ancient secret.
A race across continents
to uncover the truth.
Fourteen-year-old Bun Hare has a photographic memory, a cryptic necklace marked “MMA585,” and a burning need to uncover the truth about his biological mother. With just an American passport, a birth certificate, and his fearless best friend Katie, Bun leaves rural New South Wales for a high-stakes journey across the U.S.
But the moment they land in New York, things go wrong. A powerful force is determined to bury the truth - and stop them at any cost. From coast to coast, the teens race to unravel secrets, dodge danger, and uncover a family history more shocking than they ever imagined.
Will they uncover the truth before it’s too late - or vanish like the past they’re chasing?
