Rather than disrupt his new family, their father devised an extraordinary plan for his two sons: set up a base camp in Honduras and search for Ciudad Blanca, the legendary lost city hidden deep within the rainforest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTheir father, an eccentric adventurer who had founded the International Explorers Society, gave the parents of three other teenage boys every reason to believe the journey had been carefully planned and the risks properly considered.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt hadn't.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe sent seventeen-year-old Jimmy, his sixteen-year-old brother Henry, and three of their friends into the remote and largely unexplored Honduran jungle.
