After a car accident, 13-year-old Chris Alten is left paralyzed and without a father. He pulls away from family and friends as he sinks into despair. Then he meets a new, mysterious friend. This friend has no name and seems to know everything about Chris. Chris's friend expands his world through the use of virtual reality. Chris begins to open up again. He makes another new friend named Ashlyn Jacobsen, a cheerleader who is anxious to prove she has more than just a surface beauty.

Chris and Ashlyn discover that Chris’s mysterious friend is a AI program created by his father. Since Bryan Alten’s death, the program has grown beyond its programming. 

Now the people who killed Bryan Alten, hoping to stop his research, are coming for the AI program, which Chris names Harvey. Having learned the value of friendship, Chris and Ashlyn must now come to Harvey’s aid.
