La vita di Nell Young ruota da sempre intorno alle mappe. Suo padre, il dottor David Young, è stato uno dei cartografi più rispettati al mondo: almeno fino a quando non viene trovato morto - o assassinato? - nel suo ufficio all'interno della New York Public Library. Lei e suo padre non parlavano da anni - da quando l'uomo l'aveva licenziata dopo un'accesa discussione su una mappa stradale apparentemente senza valore: la stessa che Nell trova nascosta nella scrivania dell'uomo. Nell non può fare a meno di indagare, e con grande sorpresa scopre che la mappa in realtà è incredibilmente preziosa e molto rara. Unica, forse, perché ogni altra copia sembra essere stata distrutta da un misterioso collezionista. Nell si ritroverà quindi a intraprendere un viaggio pericoloso che la porterà a scoprire una cospirazione inimmaginabile, i segreti della sua famiglia e il vero potere delle mappe.
