A dark, high-energy sci-fi revenge tale about a traumatized teenager grappling with unwanted powers born from bodily violation and brain injury.

After an accident, Tom wakes from a coma to discover that fragments of his smart phone have been embedded in his head, and worse, that returning to normal teenage life is impossible because he has developed a strange set of super powers.
