Neva Jones is Gifted, meaning he has a special power. He plans on living a peaceful life and going to ESG, like the rest of his family. But when a mysterious plague starts rampaging, stripping many Gifted people-both young and old-of their special powers, Neva knows something's not right. He needs the help of some Giftless (and Neva's own neighbor) to find out what's going on and stop it before it affects everyone and strips everyone to the status of Giftless.
