In Ann Arbor, Michigan, a young teenager named David Rice, portrayed by Hayden Christensen, surprises his crush, Millie, with a special gift—a snow globe featuring the stunning Eiffel Tower. This gesture reflects her aspirations of traveling one day. However, things take a turn when a bully named Mark, played by Jesse James, maliciously hurls the globe onto the icy riverbank. In a desperate attempt to retrieve it, David falls through the ice and gets swept away by the current. To his shock, he suddenly reappears in the local library, soaking wet and bewildered. Here, he discovers an extraordinary ability to “Jump,” which allows him to teleport from one location to another. Disillusioned with his life, David chooses to flee and is presumed dead by his alcoholic father.
