Mason "Brick" Redstone has always been different, but the genetic abilities he's kept secret are only the beginning. Born with extraordinary powers after genetic experiments on his parents and sister, Brick has hidden some abilities even from those closest to him. When his science professor—secretly the twin of the enigmatic Zindriya—convinces his classmate Latisha "Tish" Owusu to partner with him on a project, the walls around Brick’s secrets begin to crumble.

Brick has secretly loved her for years. Though she initially resists, feeling conflicted about him, their time working together reveals sides of the man she never expected. Slowly, her feelings shift, and she finds herself falling in love.
