Storyline

A young boy is found wandering without any memory of who he is. A family takes him in and begin to look for clues to help him find his way home. In the meantime, they notice that the boy seems to have certain special abilities, not usually found in kids his age, or even fully-grown adults. Written by Murray Chapman <muzzle@cs.uq.oz.au>

Trivia

The video game that Daryl plays is "Pole Position". Most likely on an ATARI 600XL or 800XL. See more »

Goofs

Factual errors: When Joyce teaches Daryl how to play the piano, Daryl demonstrates his grasp of the piece's rhythm (at 36:06) by saying, "Whole note, two half notes, and four quarters to a measure," a perfect description of 4/4 time. However, they play a piece in 6/8 time. See more »
