In order to save his family home, 13-year-old Leng Heng enlists his friends and the streetwise Srey Leak to hunt down a long-lost golden Buddha. But as their treasure hunt gathers pace, Leng Heng is pulled deeper into the world of a brilliant neuroscientist who is desperate to unlock the key to the mysteries behind karma and reincarnation. Leng Heng just might be the answer he has been searching for.
