Nothing was the same after 1960, the year the comet struck. Millions died in the catastrophe, and all seemed lost. That is, until the Federation came along and rebuilt civilization, bringing the survivors under their rule.

However, there was a catch. The comet had brought a strange substance to Earth, which began mutating humans, granting them powers never thought possible. These mutants, known as Aberrations, were believed to be a danger to society. And so, they were taken by the government when discovered, never to be seen again.

But what happens when a group of Aberrations escape and form their own rebellion? What happens when these youths uncover the lies of their rulers? And what will become of them and their fellow citizens?

Well, we're about to find out.
