Twelve-year-old, Bo Gamage doesn't exactly hit it off with the distant relatives he meets when he goes to live in a ghost town in the middle of the Mojave Desert. His cousin, Mzzz Mad, thinks she's better than Bo just because she already drives her very own pickup truck. Her grandpa, an old Hollywood movie cowboy, seems to blame Bo for the fact that the legendary gold mine he's looking for is lost. And just when Bo thinks things can't get much worse, he and Mzzz Mad find themselves handcuffed together and struggling for their lives against deadly outlaws.
