On one fateful day in early December after the death of her three-year-old son, young mother Nox Hartley is committed to the psychiatric unit of the local hospital, where she exposes her abilities to manipulate elements. She remains there for two months, during which time she discovers that her "powers" to bend such elements are enhanced due to her Borderline Personality Disorder. She is then abducted and transported to a different facility, where she is forced to put her bending skills to the test in favor for the near-total annihilation of humankind. 

TW: Opening chapter revolves a vague suicide attempt after the (somewhat) graphic death of Nox's son.
