›Indiana Jones‹ meets ›Mission Impossible‹ Eigentlich sollte es nur ein entspannter Familienurlaub werden. Doch schon in der ersten Nacht in Kairo verschwinden Jakes Eltern spurlos. Widerwillig raufen er und seine Zwillingsschwester sich zusammen, um sie wiederzufinden. Eine erste Spur führt sie in einen Laden, wo zwischen Plastikpyramiden und Pharaonenmasken auch hypermoderne holografische Geräte zu finden sind. Tatsächlich ist dies alles andere als ein Souvenirshop und der Besitzer hat durchaus eine Ahnung, wo Jakes Eltern stecken könnten. Schon bald sind die Geschwister, ausgestattet mit allerlei Gadgets wie einer Smartbrille, einem Bungeeseil und einem Zwei-Wege-Mikro, auf dem Weg ins Innerste der Cheopspyramide, um eine alte Mumie zu finden, gegen die sie ihre Eltern einlösen können.
