Maximiliano Cordoba loves stories; especially the legend Buelo tells him about a mythical gatekeeper who can guide brave travelers on a journey into tomorrow.
If Max could see tomorrow; he would know if he'd make Santa Maria's celebrated futbol team and whether he'd ever meet his mother; who disappeared when he was a baby. He longs to know more about her; but Papa won't talk. So when Max uncovers a buried family secret--involving an underground network of guardians who lead people fleeing a neighboring country to safety--he decides to seek answers on his own.
With a treasured compass; a mysterious stone rubbing; and Buelo's legend as his only guides; he sets out on a perilous quest to discover if he is true of heart and what the future holds.
