John Highland swears revenge after witnessing his wife's ruthless murder and his daughter's brutal kidnapping. Soon after, he realises this is the result of one mistake he made years before. Coincidently, he stumbles upon an 'old friend' who claims to know a lot about what is happening. Facing the demons of his past, he hustles to save child and himself from the mess he's created. Things he thinks he knows crumble into dust as the further he sinks back into old routine, the more he reveals about himself, the people who are after him and the people who are trying to help him.. Can he bring her home? Or is this whole thing bigger than he expected? WARNING: MAY CONTAIN STRONG LANGUAGE AND VIOLENT SCENES "I sobbed erratically as I looked over to what I hoped was not the dead body of my wife. My Ana. Bile began rising up my throat, pushing me to my feet and out of the door towards the bathroom. My gut wept in mercy as I heaved green acid from my stomach. It leaked from my nose and stung my eyes. I had no control of myself. I whimpered in between heaves, my dark hair sticking to my forehead soaked with sweat. I was a mess, my eyes red with strain. I sat there for a while, on the toilet floor, clinging tightly onto the bowl of the toilet. My tears ran dry as all the liquid from my body had been drained."

'There's a strange sensation of an absence of essences. There's nothing.' In the year 3032 a.D within the walls of the Minnesotan city 'Yesté' live three of the world's most revolutionary people innate with what is known as the 'tenth intelligence', hidden from the world by the government as of yet. One of the three people, named Xara 'Ellipsis' Ellis is a gifted former FBI agent who now rests in the psychiatric ward of Saint Mary's Hospital after showing signs of mental instability and loss of previously owned powers pertaining to her tenth intelligence. The other two gifted characters are scientists-Jack Aomori and Adrian Catena-who are ordered by law to travel Xara's mind and discover the main cause of her mental demise. Within her mind they come across a variety of dreams, subconscious realities, nightmares and wild imagination. In the meantime, an OCD-suffering doctor, Dr. Perry Hunter, begins to witness strange and eerie accountings in Saint Mary's Hospital, especially to do with Xara. He also starts to question humanity and his own origins, yet all such plans are thwarted by an incognito enemy on the run from the law of a thousand years ago for rape and cannibalism. As dreams and reality mix, who will survive in a dystopian and androgynous world of depravity and will Jack and Adrian discover the cause of Xara's illness? WARNING: Very disturbing scenes. Not suitable for under 16's.

It has taken years for Vincent to finally recover from his father's death, made easier by his choice to avoid people. He's always believed that it would be safer for him that way. During his final year at high school, however, he finds himself forced out of his shell - and some of his new friends seem interested in something more. So when drama enters his life in a very sudden and seemingly random way, he finds himself lost and stranded from the one thing that could keep him anchored; his art. Without it, he might not even be able to keep his sanity.
