Dead bodies have been littered all over the US in the past few weeks. One hundred murders in one week. The murderers haven't even left a trace.
No one is safe. Everyone is either paranoid, or going to be paranoid. Everyone, except eighteen year old Calyx Hood, who isn't afraid of anything. That is, until she is tracked down by the killers. And they aren't what they appear to be.
With the help of a superhero organization known as The Gifted, Calyx discovers the hidden truths about the mysterious killers, and herself.

"You react like someone who's never felt another's touch," Nex whispered, slipping his thumb under the band of her shorts. "So, have you not?" Kat opened her mouth to speak but stopped when his hand slid up from her leg, gliding up her stomach and stopping just below her breast. "Not even here?" He asked, following the curve of her breast with one finger, not touching, staying just below as he dragged it back and forth. "What about here?" He asked, sliding his hand down from her ribs to the bottom of her shorts then around to her butt, fingers nearly grazing it as he inched them up, under her pajamas. "I can say with certainty, never here," he said, lowering his other hand under the waistband of her shorts, touching the top of her underwear. "No, you've definitely never felt that before. I can hear your heart racing, I can feel your breathing, I can smell your body responding like it's never experienced these sensations before," he whispered, sliding a finger just underneath the band.
