Ten-year-old James, doted on by his three aunts, is haunted by the loss of his mother. He doesn't know where his mother is--only that she is sick and he has to live with his aunts in a shoddy city apartment. One day he skips school to go to his secret place, a deserted house. What follows is a roller-coaster-like adventure story ride through the streets of New York City.
