There is a boy named Bobby. Bobby has faced massive difficulties with openings, learning even basic concepts such as reading and writing his whole life. He lacks basic comprehension of things that would be fundamental to most people, including the capacity to decipher the intentions of those around him or recalling things that have happened in his past. Bobby holds a menial job in a bakery, where he fulfils his responsibilities to a sufficient level that enables him to live a subsistence lifestyle, including paying for rent and feeding himself. Despite all of this, Bobby has always held onto the hope that one day he might be able to read, write and relate to people on the same intellectual level he is aware they possess.
There exists a procedure, the ADS Operation, that would drastically increase the intelligence of a person at a rapid pace, with the potential of making them a once-in-a-lifetime genius. However, the procedure can only be administered on an individual once. Scientists are aware that the effects of the procedure are temporary. While patients who undergo the procedure will suddenly find themselves in possession of lightning quick comprehension, recall and creative skills, after a certain period of time (predicted to be between three to five years), these effects will regress and the individual will find themselves at the same intellectual capacity that they were before the procedure.
