Jeronicus Jangle is a genius inventor who’s lost nearly everything thanks to a betrayal by a man he called his friend. In danger of losing his shop, Jangle has to come up with a special creation or his life’s work will be lost to him forever.

His granddaughter Journey is determined to help him, but her efforts put the family in the cross-hairs of the man who betrayed Jangle before.
