Ky Madison is a girl in a world where what's In and what's Out is defined for you: high school. So she decides to stand out, to do the unexpected; to rebel against what is defined as "In". And the whole "popularity" part is like an added bonus - that is, if you like having everybody in school know that you get a kick out of rebelling against society (and Mandy O'Conner). But she wonders: just how expected is the unexpected? Evan Touber has always been invisible; unnoticed; "that kid in the back of the class". He was never "cool" or "popular" like his brother. But then he meets the cool and rebellious Ky Madison - the most talked about girl at school - and she's going to help change his "invisibility" to "visibility" And it's all thanks to her rebellious reputation. (BTW: when I started this story I thought it would be fun to make a ton of references to Ouran High School Host Club and See who noticed them. But then I started getting serious about the story and stopped doing that so much. So if you guys were wondering what that was about...yeah, that's what that is :|)

In City California, Duggan Masters is a living legend. As the criminal Light Master, he has ascended the ranks to become the undisputed overlord of all crime in City. Yet "the game" ceases to have meaning after City's greatest hero, Miracle Man, vanishes without a trace. Left with only the local police to foil his plots, Light Master grows increasingly lethal, and the joy of killing has been lost. So Duggan does what any criminal overlord would do: he kidnaps Dr. Wallace Cornwall, a famous "psychiatrist to the heroes" and writer of a best selling self help book for heroes, Our Masks, Our Selves. Duggan introduces Wallace to Leona, a genetically engineered assassin who has turned to working part-time as a "cat burglar", and part-time as a serial killer. Wallace talks Duggan and Leona into retirement, but Duggan has one last plot to bring Miracle Man out of hiding. How far is one deranged criminal overlord willing to go for the love of his hero?
