For 9-year-old Sheldon Cooper, it isn't easy growing up in East Texas. Being a once-in-a-generation mind capable of advanced mathematics and science isn't always helpful in a land where church and football are king. However, through the aid of a 45mm and an AR-15, Sheldon deals with the world one bullet at a time, whilst his very normal family must find a way to deal with his psychotic tendencies. Sheldon's mother, Mary, fiercely protects and nurtures her son in a town where he is wanted by the FBI and homeland security. Finally, there’s Sheldon's twin sister, Missy, an accompice, who sometimes resents all the publicity Sheldon gets, but also remains the one person who can reliably tell Sheldon the truth. For 10 years on The Big Bang Theory, audiences have come to know the iconic, eccentric and extraordinary Sheldon Cooper. This single-camera, half-hour comedy gives us the chance to meet him in childhood, as he embarks on his awkward and hopeful journey toward the man he will become.
