You've got to believe in treasure to find it...
At the age of sixteen, Miranda has already had to live with her share
of disappointments. Abandoned by her mother, she's dropped out of
school and has been supporting herself as an employee at McDonald's
while her father Charlie resides in a mental institution. When Charlie
is released and sent back to their home, Miranda finds the relatively
peaceful existence she's built for herself completely disrupted.
Charlie has become obsessed with the notion that the long-lost
treasure of Spanish explorer Father Juan Florismarte Garces is buried
somewhere near their suburban California housing unit. Armed with a
metal detector and a stack of treasure-hunting books, Charlie soon
finds reason to believe that the gold resides underneath the local
Costco, and encourages Miranda to get a job there so that they can
plan a way to excavate after hours.
