Two teenagers have convinced themselves they’re not doing anyone any harm by counterfeiting money but it all takes a dark turn when their debt-ridden art teacher finds out they are using his classroom to make the counterfeit bills.

The story centers on the friendship of two adventurers, Bill Haskell and Byron Epstein, as they travel west during the Klondike Gold Rush. Along the way they “must navigate harsh conditions, unpredictable weather and desperate, dangerous characters,” including mill owner Belinda Mulrooney and aspiring writer Jack London.
