Twelve-year-old Elias has consumption, so he is sent to Kentucky's Mammoth Cave-the biggest cave in America-where the cool vapors are said to be healing.

So he is thrilled when Stephen, one of the slaves who works in the cave, invites him to walk further through its depths.
But there are more than just tunnels and stalagmites...
