A man drives a car with a boy dangerously through a narrow mountain road chased by a helicopter. He leaves the boy near the woods and continues driving until he commits suicide, driving the car off a cliff and falling in a river. An elderly couple finds the boy and delivers him to an orphanage in Barkenton. The doctor examines Daryl and realizes that he has partial amnesia, but is healthy. The director Howie Fox offers his friends Andy Richardson and Joyce Richardson, who are in the waiting list to adopt a child, to foster Daryl until their parents are located. Daryl shows a great intelligence and befriends Turtle Fox, who becomes his best friend, and his sister Sherie Lee Fox and their mother Elaine Fox. Daryl is loved by his foster family and friends, but out of the blue, his real parents Dr. Jeffrey Stewart and Ellen Lamb arrive in Barkenton to bring their son back home. Daryl returns to a laboratory where he learns that he is a prototype of biological experiment with artificial intelligence and D.A.R.Y.L. is indeed an acronym for "Data-Analyzing Robot Youth Lifeform". When General Graycliffe learns what happened to Daryl, he orders to abort the project and destroy the prototype.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
