Kyle, a young and enthusiastic treasure hunter, searches for the rumored gold which could be the answer to Grandpa's financial problems. While Kyle and his younger sister, Kimmie, are out searching for the mother lode, they learn about the history of the small town of Morgan Gulch. Along the way they discover the secrets of the mountain, and they get to know their great-great grandpa who settled on the mountain and for whose gold they are searching. Kyle's adventures on the mountain bring him closer to his family and help him discover not only the gold, but more about himself.
