No one knows where the brilliant-colored spheres came from. One day they were just there, hidden all over the earth like huge gemstones. Burn a pair and theymake you a little better; an inch taller, skilled at math, beter-looking. The rarer the spheres, the more expensive - and the greater the improvement.

When Vernon meets Hunter, a girl with a natural talent for finding spheres, the two start searching together. One day they find a Gold - a color no one has ever seen. And when the billionaire collector Alex Holliday learns what they have, he will go to any lengths, will use all of his wealth and power, to take it from them.

There's no question the gold is worth millions, but what does it actually do? None of them is aware of it yet, but the fate of the world rests on this little golden orb.
