Ever since an event known as the Disaster, monsters and mayhem rule the world. There are those lucky enough to live inside the Fence, while those who don't, are treated little better than the beasts that they fear.

It seems like everyone Lake knows has already met their other half. He's spent years in waiting but has finally turned his back on fate. The counterpart system is simple but his life is not, so he doesn't expect it to work for him as it has for everyone else. He joins the League as the next logical step in his life. It's the best option for anyone with powers, and Lake can control ice. His new career will serve as a distraction from the disappointment of the counterpart system if nothing else. When Lake is assigned to an undercover operation that he's out of his depth with from the beginning, he gets far more than he bargained for. His friends have told him their stories of how they met their counterparts, but he's pretty sure that he can top all of them after he encounters the son of the man he is supposed to arrest.
