Astrobiologist and widower Theo Byrne searches for life throughout the cosmos while single-handedly raising his unusual nine-year-old, Robin. Although Robin is a warm, kind boy who enjoys painting elaborate pictures of endangered animals, he’s also about to be expelled from third grade for smashing his friend in the face. With the hope of treating his troubled son without the use of psychoactive drugs, Theo turns to an experimental neurofeedback treatment to bolster Robin’s emotional control — one that involves training the boy on the recorded patterns of his mother’s brain.
