The story follows Pete Holmes as he grapples with the reality that his daughter, Star, is not an ordinary child; she exhibits advanced intelligence and telepathic abilities. As Star, who is joined by her friend Robert, learns to navigate both the joys and trials of her intellect, they embark on imaginative adventures that blur the line between time and space.
