Hank and his classmates, Ruby Basher and Sam Benedetto, win their Grade 8 Science Fair, and the prize is summer camp in the Rocky Mountains. Meeting up at the camp with three other science fair winners, Julianna Wong, Oz Solomon, and Zebi Little Crow, they get lost during a terrible storm while chased by a grizzly bear. They stumble into a hidden cave with walls covered in multiple drawings of dinosaur teeth. Hank and his friends use their small flashlights to move more deeply into the dark underground.
