When a member of your family you have worshipped growing up disappears from your life, you are left with nothing but to grasp at straws, waiting for them to return on their own because you have no way of finding them. This is what is happens to Sam Brown when his older brother Daniel leaves home after a fight with their mother. But one morning, two years later, as Sam sits eating breakfast and reading the back of the cornflakes packet, he suddenly and unbelievably finds the solution to his predicament - The Competition. If he were to win, which he begins to undoubtedly believe he would, Sam would receive a round-the-world ticket and £1000 spending money.
Determined now to find his brother, Sam sets off on a path he does not know is fraught with danger, deception and possibly murder. Will tracing his brother's footsteps lead Sam to finding him, or would it actually throw him in more perilous waters?
