Kyle Mills is the most powerful subhuman on the planet. As a teenager, he used his powers to fight crime and take down evil organizations. But it was never enough. Twenty years later, after tensions between humans and subhumans reached a breaking point, the government sanctioned subhumans into a new district of lower Manhattan called The Homeland. Ever since then, humans and subhumans have lived in two separate worlds. But when a mysterious man named Lucius arrives and offers humans new powers even greater than what subhumans possess, Kyle is suspicious. Lucius wants to train humans for a war that's coming, but only the ones who take his powers will survive. He asks Kyle to be his right hand man and offers to give him more power than he's ever dreamed of. Lucius' new "neohumans" are stronger, faster, and smarter than any subhuman, but they lose all sense of right and wrong. Everything in Kyle is screaming not to trust Lucius. If he refuses, he'll keep his morality, but die in the war. If he accepts, he'll lose it, but live. When being good has never been good enough, could being bad finally be the answer?
