The Next Stage: Chapter One: All Points Bulletin

Set in the distant future, human-kind has evolved by 1% and super-human abilities such as flight,telepathy, and energy projection are as common as our 5 other senses. Enter Bryyan Jacksson and Lynnea Misaki, two strangers who mutually discover that the all-powerful upper-class families that control the politics and economics of the new global market are corrupted and self-serving beyond the level of criminal. Caught between the power struggles between the Orchards, the Risollos, the Langleys, and the Hallmarks, Bryyan and Lynnea randomly encounter each other as kindred victims of the mafia-style class warfare. They agree to join forces, his hi-tech weapons and gadgets and her ability to control magnetic fields, to stop a single criminal, the utterly insane free-lance hit-man known only as Phoe, and expose the under-world dealings that are supposedly necessary to keep the social structure working.
