What if you could predict the future? What if you could predict disasters that have not yet occurred? Would you stop them, even if it meant risking your own life? Meet sixteen year old Emmery Willows, who is doing just that. Instead of worrying about school and homework, she has to worry about bombs and car crashes and how to prevent them from happening. Her life takes a bizarre turn with a chance meeting with a boy called Hudson Matthews, who shares her abilities. As the two set about saving the lives of those around them, an unlikely friendship forms. But as feelings blossom into something more, something dark is on the loose. Someone, or something is trying to stop the work of the two teenagers, threatening their lives and ensuring that the disasters happen. As a tragic event, that Emmery may not be able to stop looms around the corner, can she save those she loves? Maybe some disasters are meant to happen. Like falling in love when you least expect it. *~*~*~*` If anyone was to look at Emmery Willow, they'd think that she's just an average hard working teenager. But you know what they say, 'Dont judge a book by its cover.' Emmery had kept her secret of future sightings to herself. That is until she moved next door to a (good-looking) young man known as Hudson Matthews. He'd saved her life once, but that wasn't where the story ended; infact It all began from there. Hudson had a bad reputation at school, but Emmery thinks otherwise. Soon, Emmery finds out that her chances of getting killed increases everytime she gets closer to Hudson. Now that she knows that there is another person who understands her secret better than anyone else, would she have the ability to stay away from him? Would he stay away her to keep her safe?

Haunted. Terrified. Alone. Those three words seem to be the only emotions that seventeen year old Gabriel Adams knows how to feel. At the age of thirteen, when other boys were chasing after pretty girls and playing in the dirt, Gabriel had been kidnapped and molested. Now, several years later, Gabriel still can't return to the normal life he'd lived before the Incident. He's terrified of the dark, and even the daytime gives him anxiety attacks. Gabriel hates being touched. A simple brush against him will set him off into spasms while panic quickly takes over his mind. It seems as if nothing will relieve Gabriel from the constricting, painful claws of the man who'd done him harm, and Gabriel is becoming desperate. That's when Evan Ricci steps in. Evan, a stubborn yet surprisingly selfless teenager, moves to the small, quiet town of Clydesdale Heights. When Evan sees a small, awkward blond haired boy carrying pop boxes across the street while he's bringing moving boxes into the new house, he decides to help him. Things don't go exactly as planned, though, and their relationship begins with a rather rough start. The two eventually learn to bond, and Evan helps Gabriel learn to deal with the psychological consequences of being molested, which eventually blooms into an understanding so deep they can't imagine themselves with anyone but the other. A hint of infatuation sparks up, but not quite yet will the love blossom out like most. Their love will take time. And lots of patience and persistence, too.

[season 1] In the near-future, mankind succeeds in curing A.I.D.S. However, something much worse fills the void, an aggressive sickness that only affects females. Though only 50% of Earth's population is at risk of contracting M.A.I.D.S., the illness impacts everyone. World War III begins as panic-stricken governments seize healthy females in order to ensure the survival of their people, but even warfare and forced breeding programs can't halt the inevitable: mankind is dying out. An international team of scientists combine existing technologies, theories, and desperation to create Synthia, a synthetic human female capable of M.A.I.D.S.-free existence and, most importantly, reproduction. Biomechanical humans, dubbed Synthias, are mass-produced, and mankind's population begins to slowly increase after being decimated by the illness and war. The cost of salvation is souls. Synthias are denied basic human rights because they are manufactured, not born. After staging an unsuccessful uprising, the facilities where Synthias are mass-produced undergo great changes. Synthia manufactories are re-opened as boutiques where a man's mate can be custom-ordered, right down to the various skills and knowledge the Synthia possesses. A truly male-oriented world emerges around this new technology. Adam, the first son of a Synthia, wants something more than a mere breeding machine. He wants a true partner and something like the "love" he only knows about from pre-war media. The Synthia he creates is something new that threatens to destroy the status quo... Adam's Synthia is not an it. Adam's Synthia is a she. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- M.A.I.D.S. is the winner of two Watty Awards (2011).
