Storyline
14-year-old Micah is a shy, troubled kid, who'd prefer to fly under the radar. After losing his parents he withdrew further into himself, causing his grandfather to introduce him to Harley, a young woman from the "Young Mentors" program. Micah teaches Harley about geocaching, a game with very specific rules that's half treasure hunt, half adventure hike. When they set out to give it a try, Harley finds herself in a situation she never could have imagined.
