When James "Burn" Griffith crashes into a young man on his motorcycle, he is thrust into a world of chaos. He brings the injured party, Keith Evans, to his home to recover—but soon armed men in suits arrive hunting for Keith. Unable to understand Keith's connection to these thugs, Burn protects him for as long as he can. Three years later, the world is a shadow of what it once was. An all-out war between regular humans and superpowered psychics leaves cities in ruins and causes families to turn on each other. When the psychic forces reveal their leader to be the same Keith that Burn collided with before, Burn works to uncover what events led the once kind young man down such a violent path.
