The anointed time has come.
Demarcus Bartlett recently discovered that he can outrun a sports car. Lily Beausoleil has noticed that light is behaving strangely around her lately. They're two of fifty teens who have been invited to the Launch Conference, an exclusive influencer gathering led by a young, charismatic tech genius. For Demarcus, Launch may offer a way up for him and his single mom, and for Lily, it might be a chance to overcome her grief after a terrible family tragedy.
As they attend sessions and meet the other youth, they begin to suspect the conference is about more than tech. The leader is searching for teens with powers so he can use them to impact the world. A mysterious custodian named John claims to have an explanation for their gifts, a supernatural one that hints at an ancient prophecy and an ongoing battle between light and darkness.
Will Demarcus and Lily choose to use their gifts for good or for evil?
