A riddle rarely makes sense the first time you hear it.

The connection between Dane and Billy D doesn't make sense any time you hear it.

But it's a collection of riddles that brings these two unlikely friends together.

Dane Washington lives by two rules: don't hit girls and don't hit special kids.

Billy D has Down's Syndrome and thinks a fierce boy who won't hit him could come in useful.

Billy D has a puzzle to solve, after all, and he has the perfect plan to make Dane help him.

Billy is sure the riddles in his atlas are really clues left by his missing dad.

Together, Billy and Dane must embark on an epic road trip, although most of the clues lead to dead ends.
