Hackers and parkour enthusiasts Danny and Omar compete against a Facebook group and a manuscript conservationist to find ancient gold. Through credulity-stretching strokes of luck, the boys, in the end, manage to get one bar of gold to pay off their debts. The plot line is hackneyed, but the story's unrelenting action, including vividly described parkour stunts, may appeal to reluctant readers.
