Synopsis
Fifteen-year-old Jake Knight is an explorer and adventurer at heart but this often gets him into trouble. When a stuffy English boarding school suspends him for rule-breaking, Jake flies out to Burkina Faso where his parents are living. But what awaits him there is kidnapping, terrorism and Yakuuba Sor, the most wanted outlaw in the Sahara desert.
