• Plot

  A teenager is found wandering the streets of Seattle. He doesn't speak, and seems disoriented, and he doesn't have a navel. He is taken to a juvenile detention center, where therapist Nicole Trager, concerned about his welfare, decides to take him home for a few days to treat him. She learns that Kyle absorbs information much more rapidly than any person she's met, or even read about. Kyle becomes a part of the family, and spends the next year trying to learn his origins while also wrestling with the normal pitfalls of teenage life. As the show continues, and he learns where he came from, larger mysteries unfold concurrently with many of the standard teenage troubles.
