Robert Gorham always gets what he wants. But the power of persuasion is as potent a blessing as it is a curse.

They call themselves Unusuals and they give Robert a new name too: Damien. Finally, finally he belongs. As long as he can keep his power under control. But control is a sacrifice he might not be willing to make.

Caleb Michaels is a sixteen-year-old champion running back. Other than that his life is pretty normal.
