A young boy is found wandering without any memory of who he is. A family takes him in and begin to look for clues to help him find his way home. In the meantime, they notice that the boy seems to have certain special abilities, not usually found in kids his age, or even fully-grown adults.

=== ''D.A.R.Y.L'' provides examples of: ===
* [[Adorably Precocious Child]] - Daryl demonstrates some (but not all) of the characteristics of the trope.
* [[Armies Are Evil]] - The military is the main antagonist of the showfilm, wanting to destroy Daryl and build an adult [[Super Soldier]] version without the human emotions that Daryl demonstrates like friendship and fear.
* [[Artificial Human]] - Daryl has an artificially -grown organic body almost identicleidentical to a human body. He eats, sleeps and even grows. What makes him robotic is his computer brain. One could say that hishe is a [[Cyborg]] in that he mixes organic and robotic, but unlike most cyborgs the robotic part is not an addition to an already -existing human.
* [[Artificial Intelligence]]
* [[Badass Driver]] - Daryl learns how to become one by [[Taught Byby Television|watching a TV show about a stunt drivers,]] and demonstrates these skills during a [[Chase Scene]] on the interstate.
* [[Baseball Episode]] - Daryl's foster parent is a baseball coach, so when Daryl demonstrates that he is an [[Instant Expert]] with batting, Daryl is put on the team for the [[Big Game]] against the [[Opposing Sports Team]] that has always beaten them in the past. {{spoiler|Daryl's batting skills givens his team an early lead, but when he quits, it come [[Down to Thethe Last Play|Down to the Last Pitch]] and Turtle makes the winning hit.}}
* [[Car Skiing]]: Daryl does this when driving through heavy traffic.
* [[Chekhov's Skill]] - See [[Badass Driver]].

* [[Everytown, America]] - The place where Daryl ends up living with his [[Muggle Foster Parents]].
* [[Fun Withwith Acronyms]] - Data-Analyzing Analyis Robot, Youth Life-formLifeform
* [[Good Withwith Numbers]] - Not suprisingly, considering he has a robotic computer for a brain, Daryl can do very advanced mathmatics with little effort.
* {{spoiler|[[Happily Adopted]] - The implied fate of Daryl, who manages to escape government custody a second time, convince the government that he ishas been destroyed, and returnsreturn to the Richardson family.}}
* [[Identity Amnesia]] - Daryl has the knowledge of his real identity and robotic nature blocked at the beginning of the film, making him think he is just a normal boy with amnesia.
* [[Initialism Title]]
Line 25 ⟶ 26:
* [[Muggle Best Friend]] - Turtle to Daryl.
* [[Muggle Foster Parents]] - Daryl was originally raised and created in a lab, but when he is found beside a road with no memory of who he is, he is mistaken for a normal child and put in foster care with Joyce and Andy Richardson.
* [[Only Known Byby Their Nickname]] - Turtle, apparently, unless the writers really intended that to be his name.
* [[Ridiculously-Human Robots]] - Daryl, both in appearance and personality.
* [[Robot Kid]] - Daryl
