"There's no normal life…just life. Get on with it."  — Doc Holliday [Tombstone] 



      Darmin had an average life…okay, not really average. More like below average teetering on the edge of poverty. But he had always been able to get along just fine. He learned to cope.  

      However, when he makes a one little, selfish decision, everything changes. This eighth grader finds himself with an incredible, supernatural ability…that he definitely didn't want to have. And he has to learn to keep it under control and hide it, from everyone, even his sister, Zoe, or else the government will take custody of him and turn him into a science experiment. Not a life he'd like to have. 

      All he has to do, is keep away from danger and he'll be fine. Piece of cake. Nevertheless, all things are easier said than done. As the days pass, Darmin isn't sure how long he will be able to keep this up. 

      And when danger comes straight to his school…will he be able to protect those he loves most?
