He befriends Safer, a quirky neighbor who enlists him to spy on the enigmatic Mr. X. As the surveillance intensifies, Georges questions the limits of loyalty and the true nature of friendship. What secrets lie behind the doors of their building, and how far will Georges go to uncover them?
Seventh-grader Georges adjusts to moving from a house to an apartment, his father’s efforts to start a new business, his mother’s extra shifts as a nurse, being picked on at school, and Safer, a boy who wants his help spying on another resident of their building.
