Christopher, a smart, autistic boy, finds his neighbor's dog, Wellington, mysteriously murdered in Mrs. Shears' garden.

But what begins as a simple mystery gradually turns into a journey that reveals great secrets about his family, and lies he never imagined existed.
Between his father, who tries to protect him - in his own way - and his mother, whose true nature is suddenly revealed to him, Christopher is forced to confront a confusing world, full of chaos and noise.
