Born with a rare bone disease, hindering his weight and his growth, Zack Kennedy dreams of doing things most kids take for granted, throwing a ball around, riding a bike, visiting a fun park. He has spent years in a hospital bed recovering from a variety of broken bones, clutching at moments of freedom from his overprotective mother. When he discovers a special ability, one that suggest he is not diseased, just special, his life changes forever, and not for the better. Now relentlessly pursued by government agencies, the military and the Russian mafia, this fragile boy must learn how to fight back, but his bones are still brittle, his gift difficult to master, and it may just kill him before he gets the chance to defend himself.
