Samuel Connie Clark II lives an unremarkable life in Texas-just trying to survive one day at a time.
With school piling on endless homework, a part-time job that barely pays, and rent hanging over his head, Sam works hard to help his struggling mom make ends meet. He's not thinking about the future-he's just hoping to make it through the week.
But everything changes after a rare opportunity to travel to London is shattered by a near-fatal car accident. When Sam wakes from a coma, he isn't the same. He's faster-unimaginably fast. Gifted with superhuman speed.
At first, it's fun. He finishes homework in seconds, breezes through books in minutes, and plays with time like it's a toy. But Sam quickly learns that life moves differently when you can't slow down-and not everyone uses power the same way.
Enter Fulton Rockefeller Bruning-a once-poor, blue-collar genius who now lives in luxury, thanks to a life of high-stakes theft. He's ruthless, cunning, and determined to care for his ailing mother, no matter the cost. Sam sees in Fulton what he could become-if he lost sight of who he is.
As their worlds collide, Sam is forced to confront what kind of person he wants to be. Can he balance home, school, work, and his new identity as something more than human? Or will the weight of power-and responsibility-pull him under?
In a race against time, morality, and survival, Sam learns that being extraordinary comes at a cost-and the hardest battles are the ones we fight within ourselves.
