Gungo is a scrawny, spoiled young caveman who has lived a life of luxury as the son of the tribal chief. In an age where only the strongest survive, he’d rather perform his “Tik-Rocks” dances than hunt or fight. But when he’s falsely accused and exiled after a plot to overthrow his father, Gungo is forced to prove himself in the brutal Caveman Games—an ancient competition where strength and bravery determine who leads.
