As a young boy, Gordon Plummer went on a camping trip with his parents. While camped near a clear Colorado creek, he found a beautiful blue stone. As children do, he put it in a cigar box, along with other oddities he accumulated as a boy-where it stayed for years, the battered box a source of fond childhood memories. Year later, now a husband and father, Gordon finds his world is torn apart by divorce. His life in shambles, he searches for anything that can bring him peace and a sense of stability. One day, he finds his once-treasured and forgotten cigar box-and the odd blue stone he stashed in it so many years ago. As he soon discovers, that childhood find has inexplicable properties and powers that could change the direction of his adult life.When he begins working with struggling contractor Scott Brady, Gordon learns more about the value of honesty and commitment. Gordon also learns that when tragedy befalls a friend, it is every bit as painful as if bad fortune had found him directly. Together, Gordon and Scott work to rebuild their shattered lives. They encounter traps and pitfalls along the way, set by unscrupulous politicians and overly ambitious businessmen who learn that somewhere, somehow, there are traps made especially for them as well. Through adversity and shared challenge, Gordon learns that true friendship is the most powerful force in the universe and that the love he shares with others is truly returned to him.
