Theo Decker, a thirteen-year-old boy from New York, miraculously survives an attack in which his mother is killed. As his reckless father had disappeared a few months earlier, Theo is taken in by the family of a wealthy friend. He is bewildered by his new environment, confused by his classmates who find it difficult to deal with him and deeply saddened by the loss of his mother. He finds comfort in that one object that makes him think of her: a small, mysterious painting that eventually ends up in the underworld of art.
