Chetyrnadcatiletniy Nik chudom ne pogib v odnom iz bruklinskih parkov ot ruk narkotorgovcev, no na pomoshch' emu yavilsya Piter. O, etot Piter! On bystr, smel, krayne prokazliv i, kak vse mal'chishki, lyubit poigrat', hotya ego igry neredko zakanchivayutsya krovoprolitiem. Ego glaza siyayut zolotom, stoit emu ulybnut'sya vam, i vy prevrashchaetes' v ego druga na vsyu zhizn'. On prihodit k odinokim propashchim detyam - slomlennym, otchayavshimsya, podvergayushchimsya nasiliyu - obeshchaya vzyat' ih s soboy v taynoe mesto, gde ih zhdut neobychaynye priklyucheniya, gde zhivo volshebstvo, i gde oni nikogda ne stanut vzroslymi. Konechno, bezumnye rosskazni Pitera o feyah i chudovishchah nastorazhivayut, no Nik soglashaetsya. V konce koncov, v N'yu-Yorke dlya nego bol'she net bezopasnogo mesta. Chto emu teryat'? Odnako v zhizni vsegda est' chto teryat'.
