To keep her family safe, Regan Braaten accepts the job with Global Security Systems despite their nefarious reputation. Along with a few other gifted recruits, they fly her to their orientation facility in Alaska. As she learns how to harness her powers, she begins to trust her instructor Gin-perhaps more than she should. Definitely more than what her boyfriend, Jude, is comfortable with. Though her love life is in shambles, training's going well. Until Regan discovers the devastating secret that Gin has been hiding. To protect everyone she loves, she flees knowing full well her choice will lead to redemption if she's lucky, or ruin if she's not.
When 18-year-old Regan accidentally kills her father, she discovers some startling truths. First, she has the power of mind control. Second, she must use it for evil or else suffer one of two fates: insanity or death. Her solution is vigilante justice. To atone for her sins, she vows to protect her classmates from The Three Musketcheers, a vicious gang of cheerleaders who use lies, brute force, and blackmail as weapons in their quest to dominate the school. Unfortunately, every time Regan uses her gift, it develops a persona of its own-one she has trouble controlling-leaving her to question whether she can save them without destroying herself.
