Chris Newman's life changes forever the day he dodges the baseball thrown straight at his head by the opposing team's pitcher. In that moment, he discovers the ability that he always knew was there, but just beyond his reach: to sense and connect with the fabric of space.
When "connected," Chris can move at the speed of light, unseen by those around him who, to him, appear frozen in time. Of course, this ability is no surprise to Amnesius Fixer and Miss Portice, the mysterious Savants from the Planet Maran sent to watch over the highly evolved human prodigy. As he grows up in present-day Philadelphia, Chris reveals his other-worldly abilities only to his best friends Samantha Banks, age 12, and J.J., age 1.
Keeping his secret becomes more challenging when he teams up with Detective Joe Carter, using his extraordinary power to help save victims of crime. But when he and J.J, are abducted on the orders of the last woman they would have expected of such treachery, it will take both his Earth friends and Savant guardians working together to rescue Chris and save J.J's life.
