David Collins has been battling an involuntary movement disorder his entire life, leaving him secluded and anxious. When a medical trial offers him everything he's ever wanted -- the chance for a normal life -- in the form of a small white pill, he jumps at the opportunity.

But all is not as it seems with the Gantry Project, as David soon develops an agonizing power. Joined by his friends Allison, a young girl with bipolar disorder, and Charles, his long-term crush, David begins a cat and mouse game with Cerulean, a corporation intent on covering up mistakes, and burying evidence.
