Not until they changed his name, altered his looks and told him- 'pretend you were never different'.Because, decades earlier after a very bad day at high school, he was committed to a secret government facility with three other kids, Cat, Jack and Stephanie, each special in their own way. Tested, tutored and trained, this extraordinary quartet were then told to save the world.It was the best thing that ever happened to them. Until it became the worst.Now, twenty years later, a mysterious disappearance means Tower must reunite with his former comrades.

Against impossible odds ...
