Eleven-year-old Jack Cooper, a poor grocer's son, works hard and helps those in need. When a raging storm delivers a mysterious treasure into his fishing net, he must choose between searching for its rightful owner or accepting a tempting offer. He could use the cash for so many things but, with best friends to share adventures, he doesn't let his Empty Pockets get him down. When Jack's hope of finding his own lost treasure begins to fade, the sea reveals a secret convincing him there might be more to those old maritime myths than he thought.

Empty Pockets is the kick-off to a heartwarming series sure to deliver the good kind of goosebumps.
