The day two twelve-year-olds stumble across a secret tunnel being used to smuggle opioids is the day they start to save their dads.
Pablo is a Dreamer kid whose father is always one arrest away from deportation. Though their octogenarian mentor warns them away from the infamous Prohibition tunnel that leads to the mill, Pablo goes back anyway and witnesses a murder at the upstairs pill mill. But he’s agile and slips away to figure out how the drugs are smuggled in. As Pablo and Mindy’s sleuthing with cryptic clues buried in their gaming code outwits the grown-ups their friendship grows strong. When self-assured Mindy surprises Pablo by asking him to distract her dad, a doctor, from taking any more pills, especially opioid recovery pills, he realizes she too has a father to save. The pair uncover a callous scheme to yank the safety net away from drug users by lacing recovery pills with fentanyl. Now they must kill the plan.
But when Pablo returns to the mill he’s captured.
On a floating fish factory in the middle of the Atlantic he finds out they’re producing fentanyl candy for kids, and he’s to be part of the testing program—though not if Mindy’s smarts have anything to do with it.
