A young artist must unravel her father's disappearance and a mysterious art piece before time runs out.
In 1981 SoHo, twelve-year-old Olympia's world shatters when her father vanishes, leaving a cryptic note. Her mother won't get out of bed, and secrets swirl around her friends. As mysterious calls demand a missing art piece, Olympia races against time to uncover the truth and find her dad. Can she piece together the puzzle before it's too late?
SoHo, 1981. Twelve-year-old Olympia is an artist–and in her neighborhood, that’s normal. Her dad and his business partner Apollo bring antique paintings back to life, while her mother makes intricate sculptures in a corner of their loft, leaving Ollie to roam the streets of New York with her best friends Richard and Alex, drawing everything that catches her eye.
Then everything falls apart. Ollie’s dad disappears in the middle of the night, leaving her only a cryptic note and instructions to destroy it. Her mom has gone to bed, and she’s not getting up. Apollo is hiding something, Alex is acting strange, and Richard has questions about the mysterious stranger he saw outside. And someone keeps calling, looking for a missing piece of art. . . .
Olympia knows her dad is the key–but first, she has to find him, and time is running out.
