Jonas vive in un mondo perfetto, dove non esistono guerre né fame né dolore.
Tutto è meticolosamente organizzato, a dodici anni ogni cittadino riceve l'incarico cui è destinato.

Finché alla Cerimonia dei Dodici Jonas viene scelto come nuovo Portato di Ricordi, un ruolo unico nella comunità.
Addestrato dal Donatore, il ragazzo scoprirà l'esistenza di un passato sconosciuto, di cui rivivrà gli orrori, ma anche tutto ciò che è stato sacrificato in nome della perfezione. E allora la sconvolgente verità metter Jonas di fronte alla scelta più straordinaria della sua vita.
