A TEENAGE SAVANT EMERGES MYSTERIOUSLY FROM THE WOODS WITH NO MEMORY OF HIS PAST, ON �KYLE XY,� AIRING FRIDAY, JUNE 30 ON ABC

In an original drama from ABC Family airing in encore episodes on the ABC Television Network, �Kyle XY� follows the surprising journey of a 16-year-old teenage savant who emerges mysteriously from the woods one day with no apparent memory of who he is or where he�s been. In a youth detention center, Kyle, as he comes to be called, falls under the care of a psychologist who quickly realizes that the boy needs more special attention, and so takes him home to live temporarily with her family. Soon they all begin to understand that Kyle has some very unique and uncanny abilities.

In the premiere episode, �Pilot,� Kyle�s mysterious journey begins when he walks out of the forest and onto the city streets. After being taken to a detention center, psychologist Nicole Trager is brought in to assess Kyle and soon discovers he is unlike anyone she has ever seen. Determined that the center is not the place for Kyle, Nicole brings him home to live with her and her family, much to their chagrin. As Kyle begins to adapt to his surroundings, he endears himself to each member of the Trager family, on �Kyle XY,� FRIDAY, JUNE 30 (9:00-10:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.
