Davy Rice, 17, lives with his drunken, brutal father in Stanville, Ohio, enduring physical and mental abuse. His mother had vanished five years ago. Until one day, rather than endure another vicious beating, he finds that he's teleported himself -- "jumped"--Into the local library! Davy, afraid that his dad will find him, flees to New York, where he robs a bank by teleporting inside the vault.
