A group of impoverished boys in an unidentified developing country—which the author has stated in website is based on the Philippines, particularly the city of Manila—scavenge through a sprawling landfill, and find a bag with millions of pesos. Despite being impoverished, they do not fight with each other over who will possess it or who will get a larger amount if divided. Instead, the boys work together to find out who the bag belongs to.
The courage they displayed is not a blatant type of bravery, but one that highlights their strong principles and virtues. The group of boys do not let a large sum of money automatically change their camaraderie and selflessness. They overcome various social, economic, and political obstacles to try to do the right thing, whilst also trying to secure a better life for themselves. Torture from the hands of corrupt police officers does not deter them in finding out the truth.
