In Phantom City, Texas, nothing is good. The town has been divided for almost three decades in a gang war. Most people had to choose sides in order to stay alive. But one teen is on his own. Ronald River is seventeen years old and has been living on the streets since he was twelve. His parents were killed while at dinner one night during a battle between the gangs. When the authorities came to take him to an orphanage, he ran. He's had to stay hidden until he was eighteen so he could live on his own. But one night, everything changed. A nuclear power plant explosion gave him super natural abilities. And that ability, was speed.
