Ryan is a student at a community college attempting to get his life back on track when he is diagnosed with cancer. Turning down treatment results in a fight with the family, and Ryan soon finds himself alone in dealing with the idea of death. A close friend, Tom, and a very attractive agent posing as a doctor, Holly, are two of the only people in his life offering any encouragement in this dark time. Ryan agrees to an experimental procedure that could cure his cancer, but soon realizes this was not just a cancer treatment. He finds himself with supernatural abilities and is faced with deciding what to do with them. Does he become some sort of vigilante like all the comic books and movies have portrayed, or use his new-found abilities to get ahead in life? Unfortunately for Ryan, such miraculous abilities do not come without a cost, and this decision may never have been his to make in the first place.
