11-year-old Tim is way ahead of the other boys his age: nothing excites him more than explorers, myths, dinosaurs and legends - and planning his mother's life! One day, however, Tim's life is about to change completely: He accidentally discovers a photo of an explorer living in Scotland on the internet and he looks like the spitting image of his dead father! The adventurous boy secretly sets off on a journey to Iverness, the famous Scottish village on the banks of the legendary Loch Ness. And what awaits him there exceeds Tintin's wildest expectations.
