'From the day of Grady's birth, Graham felt the need to protect his small brother. After the loss of their parents, that need became his life. During the course of the last six months, that life was suddenly filled with chaos. That chaos was culminating in the events unfolding this day on a one-way course for a single moment. That moment in time at last arrived, bringing him to this final confrontation.' Change is inevitable. For the high school students of the small town of Martin change had become a thing to fear or anticipate. In the course of half a year, the town had experienced the transformation of a number of their youth. Now four of them were facing the impact of those changes. It meant something different for Graham, Matthew and RJ. One dreaded it, one feared it meant discovery, and the other was directed toward a goal of stopping it. The three of them were on a path that would end in a way none could ever imagine. For Douglas, the first of the Changed, relocation meant a chance to help him cope with his volatile talent. What he didn't know was his talent was pushing him toward a conflict that would have dire consequences for him and the friends he had left behind in Martin. None of them were aware of the Catalyst, the search for it, the conspiracy to hide it, or how its existence was targeting one of them. Now is the time of transformation.
