Here's a breakdown:
* Percy's Birthday: Percy, who is already dealing with dyslexia and ADHD, is having a terrible birthday. He is attacked by a Fury and then blamed for causing chaos at his school.
* Meeting Luke: He is then whisked away by a mysterious boy, Luke, who claims he is from a summer camp for "special kids."
* The Arrival of the Furies: At camp, Percy is visited by the Furies, who accuse him of stealing Zeus' lightning bolt.
* Percy's Mission: Despite his protests, Percy is given a quest to retrieve the lightning bolt and clear his name.
This incident propels Percy's journey, forcing him to leave his ordinary life and confront the dangers of the mythological world. He must learn about his heritage, train to become a demigod, and face the consequences of the accusations against him.
