Jett Baranov is the 12-year-old son of tech billionaire Vladimir Baranov. Jett’s father owns the popular software company Fuego, and Jett is addicted to technology. Aside from that, he has also been named Silicon Valley’s Number One Spoiled Brat. In an effort to curb Jett’s wild ways, his father sends him to a retreat center in rural Arkansas with a 27-year-old handler named Matt Louganis. Matt is a brilliant technology expert, but he is more valuable to his employer for his ability to occasionally keep Jett under control.
After a plane trip and a three-hour car ride, Jett and Matt arrive at the Oasis of Mind and Body Wellness center. They are met by the extremely tall and muscular meditation director, Ivory Novis. Jett is appalled when Ivory confiscates all the tech that he brought with him. Matt also turns over his cell phone. Nobody at the wellness center is allowed to use technology, and Jett is supposed to remain there for six weeks. He doesn’t take the news well. To add insult to injury, the camp cafeteria serves only vegetarian food.
