The story focuses on Theodore "Theo" Boone, an ambitious 13-year-old boy living in the small town of Strattenburg. Theo's parents are both successful attorneys, and Theo himself acts as a "kid lawyer," frequently dispensing legal advice to his schoolmates and operating his own mini law office.
The stakes turn deeply personal when his best friend, April Finnemore, vanishes from her bedroom in the middle of the night without a trace. April comes from an unstable home environment, and because she was left alone, there are initially no witnesses. Fear quickly ripples through the town, and the official police investigation hits immediate dead ends.
The local authorities heavily suspect Jack Leeper—a distant relative of April's and a dangerous, escaped prison convict who was recently spotted in the area. Dissatified with the police's direction and relying on his own sharp investigative skills, legal knowledge, and tech-savvy instincts, Theo launches his own independent search to track down his missing friend before it is too late.
