His resilience allows him to discover remarkable punching power, to keep his bullies at bay. Meanwhile, a mysterious person named Herbie, enters his young life, who claims responsibilty for his punching power, although he has never seen, or met this enigma, other than speaking with him on the phone, and thru mysterious notes. Gene eventually lapses into a two year coma, before the final climax!
