In this gripping tale of teenage angst and the daily growing pains of adolescence, Kross introduces a highly elusive character to his ongoing opus.
Meet Frankie: once a young girl, now an unstoppable entity beyond science and religion.
During a last-ditch attempt to escape from a resilient death squad that means to use Frankie's uncanny abilities for a more sinister agenda, Frankie accidentally stumbles-or better yet-collides with a bus transporting a small-town girls junior varsity lacrosse team on the way to a match. A deadly shootout ensues moments later between Frankie and authorities where each lacrosse player falls witness to something miraculous as this mysterious force known as Frankie showcases its gifted talents and unleashes them on the heavily armed soldiers of the National Guard.
Days later after the lacrosse players are interrogated by FBI agents, who believe the shootout in Burbane was 'terrorist' related, each player disappears overnight, leaving not only an entire town on edge, but also the entire country. With very little knowledge of their abductors, the players wake up inside rooms no larger than prison cells, only to be later questioned by three strange men, two of them claiming to be doctors. Their sole mission is to conduct a series of assessments intended to rehash the nightmarish event in which the lacrosse team desperately wishes to forget; however, some of the players' stories don't quite add up. One of the girls is lying. And that lie can either save a country on the brink of war or leave an already divided country even more divided.
