Thirteen year old Tommy Carson doesn't want to go on a camping trip with his, egotistical, overbearing stepfather, Ray Kramer. Tommy's mother, Evelyn, insists that Tommy go with Ray so the two guys can get to know each other better. That camping trip on Roberts Mountain changes the lives of not only Tommy, Ray, and Evelyn, but also Jessie Roberts.

Jessie is the old, half-breed Ute Indian who owns most of the north side of Roberts Mountain. Even though Tommy is an excellent Boy Scout, his lifesaving skills are greatly tested during this adventure. Many people living in the small mountain town of Temptation blame Jessie for the strange things that are reported to happen on Roberts Mountain.

Brown says she writes for teenagers, but this story has something for everyone, a kidnapping, a murder, a love story, and supernatural experiences.
