Spoilers ahead
Tommy Linklater is an 18-year-old whose magic feels genuine even when it seems small—he can redirect croquet balls, conjure cards from closed purses, and most impressively, perform feats that appear impossible. Yet behind the marvel is a quieter gift: a mind that loves chess, a pastime he kept hidden during his mother’s life but discovers is another branch of the same ancestry of wonder she left him.
