At the center of the action is Theodore Decker. The young hero was happy, lived in abundance and did not know what grief was until he turned to his mother with a request to take him to the famous New York Metropolitan Museum. As soon as mother and son crossed the threshold of the museum, there was a deafening explosion. In a matter of minutes, people lost the ability to move, as tons of metal and concrete covered them with their heads. The tragic incident killed many, including the death of Theodore's mother. Trying to get out, he involuntarily looked around, and then met the gaze of the dying man. The man, who turned out to be an antique dealer, gave the guy a ring and a painting. Subsequently, it will become clear that the work of Karel Fabricius has a huge value and is the key through which Theodore penetrates the world of art.
