Forced to train beside the elite 'Anomalies' - a secret society of superhuman fugitives on a mission to rescue a war-torn world from the Reformed Global Militia - Sparrow fights her own powers, desperately wishing she could live like a normal teenager. But her rebellious streak comes to a screeching halt when Fin transfers her to a new school (which just happens to be a cabin in the woods) to train alongside the best of the best, including his hot-tempered adopted son, Keegan. Fiercely loyal to the Anomalies, Keegan is outraged by his father's decision to bring Sparrow to their finest school. He doesn't trust her, and he has no idea who she really is: the only daughter of the patriarchs.
