Jode is a throwback, given up by his parents and raised in an institute that was never meant to serve his needs. All he wants is to get free and find his mother, and when Gen-Fang scientist Rowla Arl shows up to study the genetic anomalies in children in the facility, he tries to convince the wolf to help him.

Rowla has her own agenda and secrets, and the kid's atypical blood might hold the answers to her own genetic problems. But if she wants to unlock his DNA, Rowla's going to have to convince him to take a chance so big it could shake the whole Hybrid Nation.

They'll have to work together to keep Jode out of enemy hands, keep his DNA away from a psychotic monkey, and keep the biggest secret in Hybrid Nation history from destroying them both.
