What if a science nerd had to learn to harness her psychic powers?
Kaitlin Reynolds finds refuge from the pain of her mother's passing five years previously in science and academia. When she lands a high-school unpaid internship at ICER, the International Center for Epigenetic Research, she feels like she is right on track to becoming a scientist. Yet, her carefully structured world is shattered when she meets Demian, a handsome prisoner-turned-science-experiment in the pits of ICER.
This meeting forces her to betray everything that she holds dear; her family, her dreams, and even the logic and reason she grasps so tightly. Everything spins out of control when she starts falling for him and finds herself in a perilous situation. The choices: master the Anima stone, which enhances it's bearer's psychic powers, or repeat the sins of her mother and die.
