As a teenager, David Rice (child) lives with his father William. Due to her status as a Paladin, Mary Rice, David's mother, left him because she knows he is a Jumper.
When David falls through the ice covering on a river, he discovers that he is a Jumper. Using this ability he leaves his childhood home behind. He decides to set himself up in New York City, using money he has stolen from the local bank. Over the course of the next 8 years, David lives life to excess, traveling all across the world and living a consequence-free life.
This all changes when he meets a Paladin, Roland Cox. Roland uses a variety of advanced technologies to inhibit David’s ability to Jump while trying to kill him, but David manages to escape. After David tracks down Millie, he encounters Mark, and the two get into a fight after Mark insults Millie. During the fight, David jumps with Mark into a bank vault, and leaves Mark inside. After this, David Jumps back to Millie, and uses his considerable wealth to fly her to Rome for a holiday.
While the two are exploring the Roman Colosseum, David meets a young Jumper named Griffin. After being attacked by Paladins, they jump to go to his hideout. Once there, David learns about a centuries-old war between Jumpers and Paladins, and about how Griffin is trying to track down and kill as many of the Paladins as he can. After interrogating Mark in jail, Roland sets out to find David.
Fearing for Millie’s safety, David returns to Rome to see her safely on a homebound plane, but is arrested by the police for trespassing. While in custody he is visited by his mother, Mary, and warned that the Paladins are on their way. After receiving a warning to run, David puts Millie on a plane to Detroit, and then Jumps to his father’s house to check on him. Unfortunately, William is dead, killed by Roland for refusing to sell out his son.
While working with Griffin, David jumps to Millie's home, in order to take her to safety. After David arrives at Griffin's hideout, Griffin panics, telling David that the Paladins have technology that allows them to travel through the scars left after a jump. Roland arrives minutes later with a team of Paladins and attacks the group. Griffin kills the team with a flamethrower and forces Roland back to Millie's home, taking Millie with him.
Griffin prepares a bomb to use against Roland, but David won’t let him as using the bomb would kill Millie as well. David then steals the detonator and the two Jump across the world, through each other’s Jump Scars; until David manages to trap Griffin in a tangle of electrical wires. He then Jumps to Millie’s apartment, only to be caught by Roland and the Paladins. With great effort David manages to Jump a large portion of Millie’s apartment into a lake, shorting out the Paladins’ equipment. From there, he jumps a portion of the apartment, Millie, Roland, and himself into a library. David then jumps Roland into a cave in the Grand Canyon. David states that not all Jumpers end up being evil.
