Thirteen-year-old Max Aguas can breathe underwater and send bullies flying with a single thought, but can't for the life of him find a girl to take out to the movies... even when he saves them from drowning. Such is the life of the metaphysically gifted.
When his parents find out his secret, they enroll him into the government-run Super Program as a last-ditch effort to make him normal. Max loves his powers, and isn't thrilled that his parents want them gone, but at least he'll get to meet other kids his age. Unfortunately, it's not the five-star getaway that was promised.
He's studied like a lab rat, and doesn't get to see his new friends--a snarky telepathic girl, and Ryuu, a fellow water user. The only time he feels alive is when he's learning to master hydrokinesis--the psychic ability to manipulate and control water.
Life in the facility goes from bad to worse when Director Nox--who lost his son at the hands of a Super--orders Max to beat up Ryuu in the name of research. Nox--operating outside of program parameters--has a score to settle. Max refuses to hurt Ryuu, until Nox threatens the lives of his parents.
Max defeats Ryuu in combat, leaving him badly injured and whisked away by program officials. Nox's next step is a battle royale involving all Supers, with the winner getting a one-way ticket back home. With Ryuu missing and his doubts about the program growing, Max vows to find his friend and make things right between them before the epic showdown. As if that weren't bad enough, the big bad Super on the block has his sights set on Max, and he just so happens to have a talent for all things fiery. And everyone knows what happens when fire and water meet. Kaboom!
