The USS Enterprise rendezvous with the cargo vessel Antares to pick up 17 year old Charlie Evans, the sole surviving human of a transport accident and alone on a deserted planet since the age of 3 to transport him to colony Alpha V. Charlie, having grown up with no other human interaction knows very little about how to co-exist with other humans and struggles to adjust to life on a starship.
When strange things begin to happen the crew begins to realize that Charlie may not have been as alone on the planet as was believed and the mythical Thasians may actually exist.
One of the great scenes of this episode is where Lt. Uhura sings to Spock's playing.
