Synopsis

When a man and woman in suits take Emmett away in the middle of math class, his classmates come up with their own explanations for his mysterious disappearance.

He's off to his own private rock concert.

He was kidnapped by aliens.

He was an alien himself.

He created a mural that offended the school.

A victim of bullies, he engineered his own disappearance...and a multitude of other guesses.

Slowly we begin to realize that no one really knew him.

Who is Emmett, and why is it that no one paid any attention to him until he was gone?
