Power is a raw, untamable commodity that few can control. Even fewer are granted such potential. But those who are granted such capability must be wary.
This has become the reality for six teenagers living in Dorlos, a country held in a malevolent king's iron grip. They cannot risk exposing themselves by using their powers but, under masks, they are able to save people's lives and hopefully, save their beloved homeland from continual danger. To their dismay, this one power outlet could prove to be their downfall.
They are suddenly thrust into a world of lies, secrets, and betrayal. With enemies in every direction, they are forced to live by one simple rule: kill or be killed. Will they buckle under the pressure or stand strong? It is a fight for complete power, and they are stuck in the middle of it.
