A boy named Jimmy Livingston was born without an immune system and because of this, he is forced to live in a bubble dome in his bedroom, which has led students at a local high school to nickname him "Bubble Boy." But when Jimmy discovers that a new girl, Chloe, has moved in next door, he is immediately taken with her beauty. They immediately become fast friends, much to Mrs. Livingston's jealousy. One day, Chloe announces that she is leaving for Niagara Falls to marry Mark, a man who always ridiculed Jimmy.
