David Rice lives lavishly on stolen money acquired from using his superability to “jump” into and out of bank vaults. He is being hunted by the Paladins, a secret society of religious fanatics who are sworn to trace and kill “Jumpers” for their alleged omnipresence which they find blasphemous. Roland Cox, leader of the Paladins, learns of David’s identity from Mark, who bullied David in high school. David and his high school crush Millie go to Rome, keeping his ability a secret. When they visit the Colosseum, David meets Griffin, another Jumper before the two are confronted by two Paladins who Griffin casually kills. David is detained by Italian police and questioned about the deaths, but escapes with the help of David’s mother, Mary, who left him when he was five. Millie, upset and afraid when David tries to skirt around the issue, demands to know the truth. David declines and puts her on a plane home.
David runs into Griffin again, and follows him to his hideout in a cave. Griffin reveals that he has been trailing and killing Paladins for years and plans to kill Roland to avenge his parents. Griffin tells David that the Paladins will target his loved ones to draw him out. David teleports home and finds his father lying bleeding. He jumps his father to a hospital and returns to Griffin to ask for help. Realizing Roland is personally hunting David, Griffin agrees.
