Nick is a genius. At three, he does math and plays a classical piece on the piano after hearing it once. Alas, his family is highly dysfunctional. His father is a self-centered gold digger. His mother is sweet but fragile. His tutor a genius in his own right with a dark secret.
They live with his grandfather in a mansion in Newport, Rhode Island. George, a tycoon with half a heart, is the first to suspect Nick’s brilliance. Far from free of ulterior motives, he makes it his mission to provide Nick with an education. German grandmother Louise is the only one to nurture him and to take care of his needs.
