After the explosion from the collapse of the Energy Magnifier, Dr.Wilson, the person responsible for the collapse, takes controll. Radiation washes over the City of Mantrel, infecting some of the impressional genes of the youth, mutating them with seemingly impossible abilities. They are known as defects and Dr.Wilson wants them, snatching thousands of kids for his unknown motives. Amber Rose has been on the run since the collapse, her connection to Dr.Wilson haunting her where ever she goes, she's desperate to stay hidden. Her defect different from the rest, the ability to navigate the mindscape.
Stealing is something vital to Amber's survival, using her abilities to get game plans from a person she came in contact years ago. It's only when she's finally caught does she realize who she's been taking from. Axsel Rhodes. He's nutorious for being ruthless and unforgiving and when he finds out what Ambers been doing, he is far from pleased. But Axsel isn't wasteful and sees Amber as a possible asset, taking her back to The Drums base, a clan of defects who's drive is to get the stolen kids back. They are complete opposites, trying desperatly to avoid each other despite their connection.
What will happen when fate seems to bring them closer and closer despite their efforts? What will happen when Amber's connection to Dr.Wilson is no longer a secret?
