 Henry Fox, a 17 - year-old determined teenager who grew up with his grandmother. He lived an ordinary life of unpleasant occurrences and was mostly a dejected person until, after ongoing squabbles, he inherited his great grandfather's valuable, beyond price treasure that consisted of 95 pairs of gemstones, and many blue diamonds, also a map to another valuable treasure. 

Before death, Henry was lucky enough to hear one of the last statements of his wise great grandfather at a young age when he requested Henry to vow to him in honesty that he will never let his relatives know that he inherited this treasure. Quite unfortunate for him, but after the death of his great grandfather, Henry came to an awareness that two of his past comrades had turned against him, Marlin and Edward. The two untrustworthy boys had accompanied Henry whilst he heard this advice from his great grandfather, to Henry's astonishment they had spread this news to his relatives, telling them how this matter was meant to be secretive and asked them for aid as well as advice on how to scrounge on this treasure.

Fearing that his relative would raid this inheritance, Henry evacuated with the treasure and three of his reliable friends, Tucker, Ryan, and Aaron. After landing on an unknown mysterious island, Henry and the boys realized that after all, although they had no clue, the island was seeming to be quite safe since no signs of humans were apparent. Ryan then spotted an elaborate chi-chi hut, then an old amiable man introduced himself, explaining that he was an old sailor that was caught by corrupted, bloodthirsty, tipsy pirates and left to be killed by a lion named Dicen, but instead of killing him, the lion befriended the elderly man. The boys became very chummy with him and told him why they came to the island. The old man, instead of becoming greedy, offered Dicen's cave for them to hide the treasure as he was a protective and invincible lion. Tucker and Aaron disagreed with the old man whilst he persuaded them that Dicen will be trustworthy and will protect it carefully, they then agree.

After weeks and weeks of doubt, fear, and unsettlement the crew successfully finds a place to hide the treasure. 

One fine day, Henry and his crew woke up stupefied, seeing the old man in a blood pool, Tucker was then suddenly within a second squeezed from his neck and threatened by five disguised men to make a choice of death or guiding them to the treasure's hiding spot. Being forced to make a swift yet appalling decision, Tucker chose to spare his life, this was a huge shock and loss for the crew.  Everyone was disconsolate until they heard blood-curdling screams of men from a distance. All of them rushed swiftly to the cave, after quite a while they arrived seeing Tucker safely standing next to Dicen, who was protecting the untouchable treasure. The scene of bloody men with dislocated faces and bodies didn't deceive Henry, he easily spotted Marlin and Edward as well as three other relatives that were supporters of their conspiracy.  

The boys thanked Dicen deeply and shared the abominable news about the death of the old man. After the sorrowful moment, Henry and his crew decided to leave the island along with Dicen and their treasure as the people whom they were trying to hide it from were dead and gone.

The many other relatives had left the country after Henry's sudden disappearance, leaving Marlin and Edward's crew to return to them hopefully with the treasure. After realizing they never returned, the relatives assumed that they must have been marooned or died in some way, so they left seeking a better life.

Henry, Dicen, and the boys came home safely and rich, unaware of whether one day their relatives would return in revenge for Marlin and Edward's death...
