When a young boy vanishes from a sealed capsule on the London Eye, his cousin and sister must navigate the city to uncover the truth behind his disappearance. Ted, a boy with a unique neurological perspective, and his sister Kat attempt to solve the impossible disappearance of their cousin Salim. They face the logical constraints of a city that refuses to believe a child could simply evaporate from a high-security tourist attraction.

They must overcome skepticism from authorities and their own internal communication barriers to find Salim before time runs out.
