## Characters
### Amber Golley
A quiet cynic with a short temper, Amber is a lifelong loner, wrestling with the recent death of her only real family, her beloved grandfather. To cope, she drives through the desert in her inherited RV, drifting towards a music festival with nothing but her memories to keep her company. But things start to take a turn when she stumbles upon a bubbly girl broken down on the side of the road. Amber is initially skeptical of her, but maybe by helping this strange girl search for treasure, Amber can find what she's looking for as well.

### Joseph Nowell
One might think being the great-great-grandson of the famous gold miner would give Joe a vested interest in the hidden treasure, but that can't be further from the truth.

Unfortunately, someone needs to be Mariah's wrangler, and as her lifelong (and only) friend, the responsibility falls to him.
