Jolleen is a child prodigy who was 'abandoned' at a research institute as an infant by her disenchanted mother, an ordinary woman of ongoing misfortune who found herself unable to cope with the girl's rapidly advancing intellect. Tricking the institute's security system, the 16 year old escapes and befriends David on the road, where he appears to have acquired a car. After the super-smart helps to fix his car, he agrees (unaware at that point that she is technically a 'minor') to take her to LA to help her to search for her mother.
Jolleen is a person who struggles to fit into the world simply because she is too intelligent too early for her years, a factor that exists irrespective of her lack of maturity, and something that can get her into trouble in the world outside the cocoon of the institute without the guidance of an adult, intellectually inferior or not.

Her search later brings her into a dramatic confrontation with the mother who felt as though she would not be able to handle her. There are one or two overly soppy moments along the way aside from some reasonably good drama, although Hulk's cutting off of a bus carrying away the girl's mother at one stage requires a greater-than-usual suspension of disbelief.
