Ten-year-old Trent McShane watches in horror as his beautiful young mother is swept away from California's Typhoon Coast into the unforgiving wild blue Pacific, never to be seen again. Lost and bewildered, Trent falls under the spell of class clown Eddie Thompson, who has a wanderlust for treasure hunts--in particular, the infamous World War II Golden Lily Treasure, buried on the other side of the ocean, deep in the wild green Philippine jungle.Together, Trent and Eddie follow childhood's illusions of grandeur through San Francisco, then become men in the vast Philippine mountains.
