Thirteen-year-old Michael Horton always thought he was your average kid. But a family camping trip takes a turn for the worse and Michael discovers that his body is fireproof, drawing the attention of the nefarious scientist Dr. Limn Torn in the process.
When Michael's parents are abducted in an effort to trap him into one of Doc Torn's schemes, the mysterious Adrianna steps in with an offer to help. But who is she? Who is the mysterious girl assisting her? And can they really help Michael find his parents?
As it turns out, Michael is not the only kid with extraordinary powers, or with missing parents...and one of their group has already betrayed them. Can the team pull together in time to stop Torn's plans and rescue their families? Or is the team already fractured beyond repair?
