Animal-hybrids are rare, so rare in fact that very few people exist and even fewer have ever seen one. The conception of a hybrid is one riddled in black and white magic, faulty DNA, bizarre joinings, and sheer desperation. Many are killed at birth, their parents and the doctors horrified by their appearance, but every once in a while, they are kept alive and grow to adulthood, forever hiding their unique features from the world and those who would wish to harm them. 16-year-old James Diamond is rarer than most hybrids. Multi-hybrid from birth, James has distinctive calico markings and bright purple eyes. Only his mother knows of the true extent of his condition, forever retaining a youthful appearance and able to carry a child. Unfortunately, this ability causes him to go into heat, a monthly trial of hiding from his best friends. But when Kendall discovers and takes advantage of the brunette in his needy state, James' secrets start to unfold. Will Kendall stay with James or will he turn him over to an old enemy who would love nothing more than to add the rare little hybrid to his collection?
