When Victor, the school troublemaker, is sent away to Benin, he doesn't expect to find a lost city in the jungle. He isn't even sure he wants to, because all he wants is to finish this quickly so he can go back home.

But once he arrives, he discovers a city that was once golden and beautiful, now struggling under the rule of a cruel king who has made its people afraid and oppressed.

As Victor explores the jungle and learns the secrets of the lost city, he realises that the people there need help - and that he might be the only one who can save them.

But the jungle has other plans for him...
