Speaking at a very young age, Josh is clearly very intelligent - at ten, he's reading advanced subjects. Considered a freak by his peers, he just wants to be a normal kid. He manages to make a lifelong best friend, Jimmy. Amazed at his intelligence, Jimmy wonders if he's a superhero...Jimmy could be his sidekick! Josh only knows he's got incredible powers of retention. And suspects something is up with all these bar codes he sees...an alien plot to control human beings...

Josh's headaches bring them to the doctor, who delivers grim news - Josh has congenital hydrocephalus, and he could die within a few years. Josh opts to make the best of his time remaining and use his "phenomenal mind" to enlighten people with his views on life and the world situation, and to raise awareness for brain disorders. But the pace of his speaking tours is too much for him, and a stroke puts him in a coma.

While his body remains comatose, Josh encounters a good Alien life force with the ability to take his consciousness to their ship in Earth orbit. They tell him his suspicions were correct.
