Bo Wolfe and his little sister, Tina, face the tragic loss of their parents, which leaves them orphaned and struggling. With the weight of this loss on his shoulders, Bo is compelled to become the primary caregiver for his curious sister.

To ensure they have shelter and food, Bo resorts to illegal activities, skillfully utilizing his magical talents. Despite the dangers of the streets, he performs tricks to captivate crowds while simultaneously plotting ways to support Tina.

During the day, Bo showcases his astonishing ability to levitate metal objects using an electromagnet he integrated into his arm. This innovation resulted from a high school science project that earned him a scholarship, which he gave up to care for Tina after their mother's death.

Bo begins selling drugs and forms a cautious friendship with his supplier, Angelo. Their relationship is built on mutual understanding, though the dangerous world around them continues to pose threats.

A ruthless competitor enters the scene, undercutting prices and creating friction in Angelo's territory. The tensions rise as Bo is tasked to confront this new rival, complicating his already perilous situation.

Bo cleverly uses his pickpocketing skills to sneak into a club run by his acquaintance, Luna. Under the guise of purchasing drugs, he steals a phone from the rival dealer, uncovering significant information about the supplier named Maurice.

Under coercion from Angelo, Bo is forced to help carry out a violent act against Maurice. The brutality of this moment marks a critical turning point, blurring the lines of morality in Bo's life.

Angelo, feeling desperate, threatens Bo with dire consequences if he fails to deliver an additional $45,000 in a week. This ultimatum drives Bo further into a corner as he scrambles for a solution.

While grappling with guilt, Bo seizes an unexpected opportunity at the club to gather money. As his emotions churn, he prepares for a dangerous escape while simultaneously deepening his connection with Luna.

Just as Bo feels a sense of relief, he is violently overpowered by Maurice's gang at the club. They incapacitate him and stow him in the trunk of their car, further escalating the stakes of his dangerous life.

Using his engineered electromagnet, Bo escapes from the trunk and cuffs, a testament to his resourcefulness. However, he quickly discovers that Maurice has stolen all his money during his captivity.

In a heart-wrenching twist, Angelo kidnaps Tina, leveraging her safety to force Bo into compliance. With his world spiraling, Bo is left in a race against time to save his sister and himself.

Desperate for help, Bo reaches out to his former science teacher to enhance his electromagnet. The teacher's advice to integrate a feedback oscillator comes with risks, reminiscent of boiling water in a kettle.

Bo, now equipped with an enhanced electromagnet, confronts Angelo at his hideout. After defeating Angelo's associates, Bo faces the dealer in a climactic showdown that involves intelligence, strategy, and raw determination.

With the confrontation behind him, Bo rescues Tina and plans for a fresh start in San Diego with his girlfriend, Holly. As they build a new life, Bo continues to refine his magic, illuminating their path with hope.
