With his comms device damaged beyond repair, all attempts to communicate with the indigenous species proved disastrous, forcing him to live life on the run, a life feeding from latrines of solitude and isolation. He was now a bone marooned in the bowl of a dog eat dog world! The story follows the internalized struggles of a young autistic, whose turbulent years through adolescence leave him at a cross roads in life, where failing school grades and an uncertain future, force him to make a judgment call. When a computer virus called Humphrey infects JoJos computer, rules of engagement are set to change and deep friendships, sorely tested. His teacher, the key to his survival, suspects there is more to JoJo than meets the eye and the journey in search of a puppet master more sinister than either could have imagined.Soon, JoJo may have to face an adversary much closer to home than he thinks, in an epic battle of wills - winner takes all!
