What if you found out you were a carefully controlled lab rat, imprisoned in one of the most highly secured facilities, and by the way - you don't have long to live?
Meet the Black Swan…
When impossible to predict events collide, they create what's known as a black swan event - something so impossible it changes how we think about science, technology, and life itself. After gaining superpowers from one such event, Jocelyn becomes Project Sunday - the government's best kept secret.
After losing one family, Jocelyn only wants to keep her science and military family happy. That is, until she finds out the truth…Uncle Laurence is using her as a guinea pig, her brother and sister are alive, and she doesn't have long to live. Now Jocelyn only cares about finding her real family. The problem—breaking out of a highly classified, military facility before the next experiment kills her.
Seth Johnson had nothing left to lose when he volunteered to go to Camp Holliwell. Now he would do anything to get out. He wants to help Jocelyn escape, but with a target on them both, survival means he needs to look out for number one.
Georgie Washington is a straight-A student and the only child of middle-class Virginians. Raised on civil rights and the horrors of American slavery, Georgie has a keen sense of what's right and what's not. She secretly befriends the unusual teen and when no one else will help, commits to breaking Jocelyn out of Camp Holliwell.
Graeme Rochester knows something is wrong, he just hasn't figured out the connection to his family. One thing he does know—he would do anything to keep them safe. When the world at Camp Holliwell threatens that safety, Graeme wants to know why, even if it means a collision course with the government's best-kept secret.
These four people, from vastly different worlds, learn the true meaning of friendship and sacrifice when unpredictable events collide again and create the possibility of another Black Swan.
