'For as long as Rennie Parker’s been alive, his parents have fought―about money, about life, but mostly about him being the biggest mistake of their lives. His half-brother, Blaine Colton, seems to have landed a sweet deal with his adoptive family, and Rennie can’t help being envious. When a night of domestic turmoil lands his mother in hospital and his father a thread away from arrest, Rennie gets his wish of staying with his brother’s family―but that’s not before he witnesses a stranger with bionic powers unearthing a high-tech vault in his backyard. Determined to discover the purpose of the stranger’s visit, he manages to secure the top-secret contents of the vault with inexplicable links to his brother.

Left with a video of glowing hands, part of a dead scientist’s lecture on immortality, terrifying dreams about misused children and his fragmented memories, he must piece these clues together before―? If only he could remember.' (Publication summary)
