Davy, a young man who in the previous novel discovered he can teleport anywhere he wants using his thoughts, is now an adult and trying to lead a normal life with his wife Millie. He occasionally does work for the NSA, but only jobs that he finds morally acceptable. During a meeting with his handler, he is kidnapped by a powerful group hoping to use his ability for their own nefarious purposes.The baffled Millie keeps waiting for her husband to return, until she discovers that she, too, can teleport through space. While Davy spends much of the book a defiant prisoner, Millie learns the joy of jumping. In her effort to rescue her husband, she goes to ground and hides her dangerous new ability from the NSA and Davy's captors.
