His father, a scientist, is under mounting pressure in his new job, and his sister Emma, despite being deaf, has had no problems making new friends.Then Parker's father, on the cusp of a technological breakthrough, is kidnapped. Alerted via E.F.E. - a device invented to help Emma communicate telepathically with her family - Parker, along with his sister, best friend Michael and an albino pig, embark on a rescue mission.But as their search progresses, it becomes clear that SIX, the project that Parker's father has been involved in against his will, is being run by a sinister enterprise - an enterprise whose work poses a threat not only to the Banks family, but to the world at large.
