Gabriel is a thirteen-year-old boy who escaped from home one night with his friend Jeff. Together they went to the beach and discovered something that will give Gabriel the adventure of a lifetime. Among the rocks, they came to find a sword. Jeff tried pulling it first but did not succeed. When it was Gabriel's turn, pulling the sword came easy for him. Like any other playful child, he said, "I am the owner of this sword now." After pronouncing those words, he woke up in an island which was called the Island of Captain Starfish. He came to meet Toucky the Toucan. Strange as it may seem, Gabriel made his way to journey unto the island to find his way home not realizing that it was the beginning of an amazing adventure. From live rocks with eyes to a huge mushroom turning into a house, travel the road with Gabriel and uncover the mystery that brought him there.
