What teenage boy doesn't want to fit in and have friends? That's what Argus Dachel, 17, wants more than anything, but because he's half alien, a New Breed, that's not as easy as it seems. And it sure doesn't help that he and his brother, Tai, are being pursued by a secret government agency. To top it off, now in their senior year at public high school, both boys risk exposure when Argus uses his extraordinary strength to defend himself against the school bully, falls for 16-year-old Lola and then learns that New Breeds are set for extermination by another group of hostile aliens. As government agent Max Jackson gets close to discovering the brothers' identity and the hostile alien forces close in, what chance do Argus and Tai have of survival?
