'Rainman' Kim Peek, brain-damaged from birth, can remember any fact or date from the history of the civilised world. 10-year-old Ariel is a musical prodigy who has been strongly pushed by his parents since birth, he is continually troubled as to whether or not his performances are 'professional.' 8-year-old Ainan Crawley is a chemistry genius who divides his time between primary school and a 3rd year chemistry degree classroom.
