Plot Summary of A Map Of Nowhere
"Nick Miller wants to prove himself to his brother's gang, so when they assign him to befriend Joseph Fisher, and find out important facts about the Fisher family's store, he agrees. Sharing a love for fantasy role-playing games, Nick, Joseph, and Joseph's sister Ruth become friends. Though he won't admit it at first, Nick soon realizes he is helping Terry's gang's plan to rob the Fisher's store. Nick is forced to choose between the loyalty to his brother and loyalty to his new friends."
