Since a brain-altering drug killed most of Luke Kincaid's town—including his father—and left him telekinetic, he's determined to stop the fanatic who stole the drug to create his own super-powered army. That means working with scientist Dr. Beth Jenkins, whose graphic tees and beautiful smile are some of Luke's biggest distractions.
A science prodigy, Beth works with the FBI and solves the toughest crimes, but she can't figure out what caused her mother's early-onset Alzheimer's disease. The drug that ravaged Luke's town is volatile, and the mortality rate is still high, yet Beth is convinced it holds the key to saving her mother, even if sexy and tortured Luke doesn't believe it should be adapted for commercial use.
When bodies start to pile up, though, the two loners must decide if the goals that tie them together are greater the fears that would tear them apart.
