Upon arrival, Linus meets the enigmatic and charismatic Lucas DeGrow, the caretaker of the orphanage, and his ward, a young boy named Christopher. As Linus spends more time on the island, he finds himself drawn to the warmth and sense of community that pervades the orphanage. Despite the initial purpose of his visit, Linus begins to form strong bonds with Lucas and the children, and his investigation evolves into a journey of self-discovery.

The protagonist, Linus Baker, is a man who lives his life in varying shades of beige. He is a caseworker for the Department in Charge Of Magical Youth (DICOMY). He is by-the-book, solitary, and deeply devoted to rules and regulations. He is, essentially, the perfect cog in a bureaucratic machine.
