Amberlin is a country home to both normal humans called "norms," and those with enhanced abilities called "supers." All supers, and their unique abilities, are required by law to be cataloged in Amberlin's Supers Database the moment their ability emerges. Since it's implementation, the database has rendered countless masked vigilantes and supervillains obsolete. However, it didn't prevent several criminal families from rising to power. Mercurius Doyle belongs to one such family. The infamous Doyles. He's been branded a villain and criminal from birth even though he desires to be anything but. Determined to live his own life, he attends Aspen University in an effort to do just that. Things get complicated when David--the charming, older bad boy--enters the picture. Not to mention he has to deal with a girl named Annie who's made it her life mission to disrupt what semblance of peace he has left. M/M; Slash; boyxboy.
