Tyrone is a average 15 year old African American, in the summer after his first year in high school. He is athletic, smart and nice. He is a avid sparer, and his mentor showed him a add he found online. Doing some research, he found it was an outdoor competition for champions; fights, races, running and sports. He signed up, and after a quick survey was chosen. But upon arrival, he found it was not what it was said to be. Taken away, he was experimented on, pushed through pain and fighting sorrow. And whatever they did is causing strange things. Soon he finds himself within a new world, with an empty feel lost to him before. He soon finds out this world is not empty at all, and is filled with new and strange rules and powers, including those in within. He is forced to survive, adapt, and stay alive whiles his enemy's, not all human, roam to conquer the world they are forced on.
After a disaster strikes the earth, teenagers are all that survive. But they develop strange and dangerous abilities that brand them as monsters. They're nicknamed the Freaks.
Luca's a Freak like no other. When he turns eighteen, he's sentenced to death by a government sent from space, known as the Soldiers, to wipe the earth of the teens and start new, but the Freaks don't allow that.
Luca is saved from execution by Freaks who bring him to safety, and there he finds not only food and shelter, but more like him surviving, when he thought they had all died.
He's immediately given a task by the mysterious leader of the Freaks, and he's faced with two options: should he sit back and watch as his own are captured and killed by the enemy he's dealt with before, or should he risk everything - even his own life - to save them all?
