Man Gains The Ability To Teleport Anywhere, But Ends Up Landing In The WRONG Coordinates

David Rice is a high school student in Ann Arbor, abandoned by his mother at five years old, and living with his callous, alcoholic father. He is 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 any place on Earth. He runs away from home, 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, seeks out Millie, and invites her to travel with him.
