The book chronicles the exploits of Dick Arbuckle, a sixteen-year-old boy who, along with his father, is swept up in the excitement of the land boom in Oklahoma, where settlers known as "boomers" vie for opportunities to claim rich farmland. In the midst of this turbulent rush toward westward expansion, Dick embarks on a perilous journey to locate his father, who goes missing under mysterious circumstances.
