Tyler wasn't exactly an all-star athlete or in any way popular. His parents, his little sister, just about everybody, saw him as aimless, and Tyler agreed. He had no idea what he wanted to do with his life.
One night, his sister convinces him to go on an adventure. He falls asleep, excited to finally have some direction in his life.
He wakes up in a body he doesn't recognize, in a steaming jungle, with a friend he's never met. He realizes that he is in the body of a rugged hero from old serial adventure novels. Now, Tyler needs to rely on his afternoons spent watching old movies and reading books, along with his knowledge of history, to navigate rivers, survive dangerous crocodiles - and even more dangerous curves.
Tyler is an old hand at serial adventure, and knows he can't trust anyone - not his loyal partner from the local village, not his old professor, not the ladies who seem to be suddenly interested in talking to him. He's got to get the treasure and then get the loot - if he wants to have a chance of getting back to his reality.
