Valerie Torrey had taken her kid, Alex, and fled Los Angeles six years back - giving both her role over a cult sci-fi Television show and her costar partner following a tragedy blew their small family apart. Now Val must reunite nine-year-old Alex with his estranged dad, so they lay out on a highway trip from New York, Val making looks at comic publication conventions along the way. As they travel western, encountering superheroes, monsters, time travelers, and robots, Val and Alex are attracted in to the orbit of the comic-con regulars, from a hapless 20-something illustrator to a brilliant corporate comics writer fighting her industry's old-school ways to a group of cosplay women who provide a chorus of knowing commentary. For Alex this world is a magical place where fiction becomes truth, but as they get nearer to their destination, he begins to understand that the storyline his mom is showing him about their journey might have an extremely different stopping than he dreamed. A knowing and affectionate portrait of the geeky pleasures of fandom, A 100 Thousand Worlds is also a tribute to the fierce and complicated love between a mom and kid - and what sort of testimonies we create come to shape us.
