Webb has already left home with his guitar and very little else.  His home had become an inferno, especially after his mother married Elliot.  The threats and the fear he felt for his mother’s safety made it impossible for Webb to continue living in a house where his every move was monitored, and if he even looked at Elliot the wrong way his mother always had to pay a price.  Then his grandfather dies, and Webb discovers that as his last request, his grandfather has set up a quest for each of his grandchildren to fulfill.  For Webb this is almost heaven sent!  It would have been nicer to carry out the quest alongside his grandfather, but at least Webb now has a plan and a reason to move on.  The trip he takes becomes a coming-of-age trip in which he faces dangers, truths, and moments that imperil his life, but he manages to stay on track to uncover the truth behind a mystery his grandfather left unsolved.
