- MIKE, 11, just moved in with yet another strange foster family. In a new city where he doesn't know anyone, except his new found friend -- The stray dog: Holliday!
  When Mike then is forced to go with his younger foster sister - Jenn - to play hide and seek, they find a box with voodoo-dolls and pictures of the old western legends Stagecoach Mary, Belle Star and Frank Butler. This marks the starting point for an exciting adventure...
