All around nerd, gamer, and comic book aficionado Danielle "Chase" Masterson's life used to be pretty simple and straight forward until a school field trip to the EMP in Seattle dropped a meteorite crystal in her lap.

Now she has all these cool abilities and powers gifted by an alien presence within the crystal going by the name of Canus. (Cain for short.)

For the past month, she's been on a crash course diet in getting ready for her first big intro into the world of super heroes for real. But things were a lot more complicated than the girl first realized. For one thing, the crystal can only give her one power or ability at one time. And Cain hasn't been very forthcoming on other things of vital importance—complicating things greatly.

But as time marches on, Danielle is caught up in a web of obsession surrounding her ailing mother. And no matter what happens, the girl can never catch a break or find a solution to the ongoing problem of her incarceration–until a lucid dream experience lands Danielle in the thick of things, and the teen girl finally discovers the awful truth behind her mom's problems and the sacrifice she is willing to make just to be with her only daughter.

For Danielle, it's a chance for her to be finally reunited with the person she's missed the most, but the decision involved will mean the end of one life and the start of another.

What will the choice be?
