In 1941 New York, young Joey El Bueno's world is turned upside-down when he meets the enigmatic Jane Bent. This freckle-faced girl with pigtails seems to know him better than he knows himself, coming and going at will. She even claims to have once levitated six feet off the ground - a feat that only Joey appears to witness. As Joey is drawn deeper into Jane's strange, captivating world, he must confront the unsettling truth: is she real, or merely a figment of his imagination? The answer will challenge everything he thought he knew about the nature of reality.
