Even with all he knows like how to defend himself with useful tools made out of bubblegum, Tate fears hes still inadequate. With the help of his girlfriend and estranged mother, all Tate can really do is keep moving and ensure his fathers invention stays out of the hands of his pursuers and that his father didnt die in vain.
