Adventurer. The very word inspires visions of noble heroes, selfless champions, and epic legends. Larger than life individuals who laugh in the face of danger, know no fear, and spit in the eye of death itself.

Unfortunately for Rick Wonder, would-be adventurer, reality isn't on speaking terms with inspiring words or noble visions.

Eager to follow in his famous father's footsteps as a great adventurer, Rick leaves his tiny farming community to seek fame, fortune, and glory, but instead finds a world that has moved on from heroes, unless it can fit them on a novelty mug.

Rick quickly finds himself saddled with incompetent allies, beset by corrupt law enforcement, and frequently lost in a sprawling urban metropolis. Even worse, the only jobs available for a freelance adventurer tend to involve finding lost pets.

Desperate to chase his father's legacy, Rick soon learns that even a simple missing person's case can go horribly wrong, and that a life of adventure is far more dangerous than he could possibly imagine.
