Secrets hidden in the Bolivian Jungle
Thanks to an alien artifact, ten-year-old Hollis Whittaker has the most brilliant mathematical and scientific mind on earth. He can also alter spacetime. The U.S. Military has been searching for the artifact since World War II and they need to kill the boy to utilize it. However, as Hollis plans to escape to Central America with a small group of misfit protectors, his parents disappear, along with his best friend Kirby's mother.
When a peculiar insect shows up, followed by an old Bolivian woman, the group sees the possibility for answers. And then the government closes in. Will Hollis be able to rescue the parents and why is a 1958 nuclear explosion in the Amazon Jungle relevant?
