Here Zach, Kyle, and their eccentric teacher, Miss Reid, are transported back in time to 1866 at the height of the Cariboo gold rush.

Once they reach the famous gold-mining town, it is hoped they can find work to survive. Barkerville presents many hardships and also many exotic adventures for the trio from the 21st century.
