Marty Magilicutti, average teen boy-you know him, annoyed when his mom talks to him, always concerned what his friends think, reluctantly enters global million dollar competition.
Along the way, he will have to find an extinct animal in the Tasmanian forest, get his picture taken with a terracotta warrior, be thrown out of a plane, ride an elephant into a Buddhist temple, survive a freezing night in the wilderness, and avoid drowning at a pool party.
The school bully-you know him too, always gets the laugh when making fun of others. He will be Marty's competitor. Brooke, Marty's crush, will constantly be in his conscious. This is not always a good thing when ANYTHING is the requirement to win a million dollars. Finally, there's the ruthless, billionaire owner of the Everything & More Corporation. He is the one sponsoring the competition, and preparing to exploit the winner.
How would any teen respond to the realities of traveling around the world and undertaking these challenges alone? Is there anything they could learn? Could what they see, change who they are? It's a million dollars! And yet... is that everything?
