Sitting at the reading of Grandpa’s will, thirteen-year-old Jarod Dailey never knew that any of this had belonged to his family. Not only were a mansion and title suddenly a possibility, but he also had a one-in-seven chance of inheriting an item worth five hundred million dollars. As the clock ticked down for him to make his selection from the will’s items, he used his heart instead of his head. Taking an old brown pair of shoes and fuzzy socks as his inherited item, the others walk away not only smiling at their new treasures, but laughing at his. Everyone that is, except for Brindly, his grandfather’s grateful butler who would have been left with the shoes if Jarod had not taken them.
It is the summer after eighth grade and suddenly Jarod’s life has changed drastically. Jarod is plunged into the excitement of this new world of money and mystery the inherited items have brought his family. His best friend Tommy and him figure out why the shoes were so valuable to Grandpa when theyfind a secret message inscribed on them. When used with the socks, he can connect with anyone, dead or alive through their shoes...and his first visit is from Grandpa. As Jarod and Tommy delve deeper into the mystery behind the magic socks and shoes, they uncover the dark and mysterious outsiders that desire the family's inherited treasures, and the family learns just how valuable the magical items are that Grandpa had spent his life protecting.
