Finally sick of being taunted for being so normal, Bob wishes that his family would all just disappear, but he doesn't really expect his wish to come true!

When he wakes the next day to find everyone gone, Bob's initial delight quickly turns to worry. Does he have supernatural powers? Is he the only survivor of a zombie apocalypse or an alien invasion?

Gathering all his courage, and employing survival skills learned from TV endurance shows, Bob sets out to find his missing family. Along the way, he encounters a cast of quirky characters, from a talking dog to a rebellious teenage girl, and learns valuable lessons about friendship, family, and self-discovery.
