Charles Gordon es un disminuido mental que ha llegado a la treintena relativamente integrado en la sociedad. Trabaja, tiene amigos, es simpático y tiene la sensación de ser querido. Acude a clases de lectura con la Srta. Alice para discapacitados y un gran interés por aprender. Su vida dará un giro radical cuando su familia accede a la propuesta de Alice para que forme parte de un experimento científico llevado a cabo con anterioridad con un ratón, Algernon, y con el fin de ver las consecuencias de esa cirugía del cerebro en un humano. La intervención ha sido un éxito, pero Algernon empieza a manifestar cambios de conducta que inquietan a los científicos ¿Afectará de igual manera a Charlie?. Todo este proceso y sus consecuencias son contadas a través de los ‘informes de progreso’ escritos por Gordon y es un recorrido por la mente humana y por el corazón de los protagonistas.
