Nineteen-year-old outcast, Raymond Sharpe, discovers that he is part of a near-extinct species of humans possessing superhuman attributes called Hybrids. When the first manifestation of his powers goes awry and his entire family is wiped out, he is forced to live in solitude. But upon meeting nave dimwit, Jackson Theodore, another Hybrid in a similar situation, he and his new somewhat-friend make the decision to become vigilantes — to use their powers for the good of others in an effort to rectify their wrongs. But when an enemy with ties to Ray's family threatens their home city of Ipswich with destruction, they — along with reporter Deborah Stokes — have to truly discover the importance of their roles as protectors to become something else: heroes.
