Alex Rider is an ordinary teenager enlisted to work on behalf of MI6, where he uses skills he didn't know he had to become an extraordinary spy.
Everything changes when Alex Rider learns that his uncle Ian has actually been killed in the line of duty as a British spy. The normal teen is approached by the head of The Department and pressured to help investigate his uncle's death. Alex reluctantly assumes a new identity and goes undercover in a remote boarding school called Point Blanc.
After the death of his uncle and a deadly mission to bring down Point Blanc, Alex Rider is eager to put the past behind him and rebuild his life. However, when a horrific attack on a friend's family draws him back into the world of spies, Alex must unravel a sinister political plot with global repercussions.
Finally free of The Department, Alex embarks on a personal mission to destroy the elusive criminal network Scorpia once and for all. Little does he know, his ties to both organisations run deeper than he ever thought possible.
