Der er bare et par problemer … For det første vil hans forældre have, at han skal tage sig et helt almindeligt, kedeligt job på et kontor eller en fabrik. Og det er stensikkert ikke noget for Jacob. For det andet har han ikke den fjerneste anelse om, hvordan man laver en app. Men det kender han en pige, som gør. Han skal bare lige gøre hende en lillebitte tjeneste – en tjeneste, der fører til en ny tjeneste – og sådan fortsætter det, indtil Jacob sidder viklet ind i alt for mange løfter til en hel masse tilfældige mennesker. Kan Jackdaw føre sin plan ud i livet, eller vil alt dette vise sig at være for meget at håndtere for selv hans massivt overlegne intellekt?
