Two years after Sheldon lost his father in a freak boating accident, strange things start to happen in Farrago Bay, Australia, beginning with the arrival of an odd boy called "The Brain." Together, Sheldon and The Brain unravel the mystery surrounding a recent rash of animal attacks that might also explain what happened to Sheldon's father. The two characters make an entertainingly quirky Holmes-and-Watson-like team.
