A group of friends work to save one of their own from being used by sinister forces from their past. While on the run, they stumble onto a scheme orchestrated by a psychotic madman who would rewrite all of Creation in his own image. Teaming up with a grumpy old man and his grumpier old dog, they have to escape cyborg assassins and supernatural monsters as they look for the lost journal of a long-dead psychic whose predictions hold the key to saving the world. They just have to survive long enough to find it.
It’s Ivy O’Connor’s last day alive, and for Hugo Wright it’s just another Thursday. But the Hicks-Cooper Comet is about to pass the earth for the first time in over a decade. And nothing will be the same ever again. Among the wreckage of the fallen Hicks-Cooper comet, Ivy wakes from a suicide attempt and discovers that her body will rapidly heal any wound inflicted upon it. Hugo is able to move things with his mind, fulfilling his childhood dream of wielding superpowers. Far from solving their problems, however, these abilities bring new challenges. Ivy is plagued by guilt over this miracle she does not feel she deserves, and haunted by ghosts from her past. Hugo is burdened with the need to save everyone he can, from the best friend he’s been fighting with for months to the niece haunted by nightmares. As the teens and their city of Cottonwood Rapids reckon with the fallout of the Hicks-Cooper, one question remains. Will they be able to bring light to the darkness within the city and themselves?
