What if you could have uncommon strength, superior intellect, and enhanced motor skills all through a small chip implanted in the back of your skull? This was 17-year-old Holland Adler's idea, called Upgrade. Her dream of making Upgrade becomes possible when she gets accepted to work for Intellectus, a multi-billion dollar tech company that makes the hottest inventions.
 
Intellectus is way better than Holland could have ever imagined, but even with all the excitement she can't ignore the nagging feeling in her gut that something isn't right about this company, and more importantly, about Upgrade.  Someone has betrayed her and made critical changes to Upgrade, completely altering the outcome...Even worse, it's about to hit the market for everyone to buy.

Wrong dose by strlna

When twins Skylar and Jake were born, their scientist parents used them as an experiment. Each was injected with a dose of serum that would supposedly make them much stronger, smarter, simply better than other kids. But somebody added a chemical that changed the effects of the serum. As a result each twin got only half of the traits they were originally supposed to get. Skylar got the strength and speed while Jake got the brains. When they realized what had happened, the twins' parents immediately put them up for adoption, so neither one knew of the other. 12 years later Skylar is constantly failing all her classes, and Jake is getting bullied because he is so much weaker than other kids. But then Skylar's adoptive family decides to move across the country to find a new school for their daughter, which happens to be the school Jake goes to. They meet completely by accident. In the meantime, their parents have found a way to fix their mistake from 12 years ago -- they can make one of the twins perfect. But it requires for the other twin to give their life.
