| When Davy Rice discovers he can teleport or "jump" to any place he has been, he uses his gift to escape his abusive father and travel to New York. There, his inability to get a job inspires him to rob a bank, making him an instant millionaire. But wealth alone cannot satisfy Davy -- he wants to know if there are other "jumpers" in the world. As he searches for people like him, Davy finds his long-lost mother and tries re-establishing their relationship. When terrorists kill his mother, however, Davy vows to use all his money and power to track down their leader, launching a one-man-war against terrorist groups that attracts the attention of unscrupulous government agencies. | ||
