Three boys head out into the desert in search of scorpions in the summer of 1968. They become lost, and on their journey encounter desert denizens, both animal and human. In the process, they learn about survival, war, racial prejudice, courage and friendship, and end up rescuing an injured test pilot and discovering clues to a lost gold mine.
