David Rice is a high school student in Ann Arbor, abandoned by his
mother at five, enamored with Millie, a fellow student, and picked on
by at least one classmate. On a winter's day, while about to drown, he
discovers he can transport himself instantaneously to anyplace on
earth. He leaves town, goes to New York City, robs a bank vault, and
comes to the attention of a shadowy group of government hunters. Eight
years later, the hunters, led by the murderous Roland, get a fix on
David. He heads home, searches out Millie, invites her to travel with
him, and only later realizes that Roland and his crew are seriously
deadly. Is everyone close to David in danger?
