And now, to save his home from a mysterious trust, Tony will have to ride in a broken-down motorcycle with someone who may not be who he seems, and solve the biggest mystery of all-Who he really is.

13-year-old Tony Pandy has always lived in the lap of luxury. Even though he owns a massive estate and has his own pet monkey, he still isn't happy. Being confined to a wheelchair, Tony spends his time flirting with his fantasy girlfriend, starting opinion wars online, or talking to his mom through an intercom. But when Tony's mom hires a new health aid for him, his life is turned upside-down. Then, when a mysterious trust threatens everything, Tony Pandy must ride on an old, broken-down motorcycle to save not only his estate, but also to find out who he really is.
