One night, in the west Texas town of Serimessa, a girl awakens on her ceiling. The next day, after football practice, a boy walks into the showers and steps out onto an unforgiving desert. Across town, another school's football practice ends in disaster after a routine tackle results in two players engulfed in flames.

These kinds of events look like clickbait nonsense to most people, but catch the eyes of rival clandestine academies where the superhuman is the norm. Two recruiters converge upon Serimessa to investigate and cover up the suspicious activities of three suddenly advanced teenagers.
