PlotA young man named David Rice discovers he has the incredible ability to teleport anywhere in the world at will, a gift he initially uses to escape his troubled home life and amass a small fortune through bank theft. Enjoying his newfound freedom and luxury, his life takes a sharp turn when he realizes he's not the only "jumper" in existence. Moreover, he finds himself targeted by a secret society known as the Paladins, led by the relentless Roland Cox, who have vowed to kill all jumpers for what they perceive as an affront to God's will. David's escape from the mundane turns into a fight for survival as he grapples with the ethics of his powers and the dangers that follow.
As David delves into the underground world of the jumpers, he encounters another jumper named Griffin, who introduces him to the complexities of their kind's life, including their capabilities and the longstanding war with the Paladins. The introduction of Griffin serves as a catalyst for David to understand the responsibilities attached to his ability and the importance of remaining hidden from the Paladins. David's journey of self-discovery and the pursuit of a normal life become increasingly complicated when the Paladins mine his past connections, including his high school crush, Millie, to track him down, setting the stage for a global cat-and-mouse chase that forces David to confront his past and question his future.
