About this book

"A sturdy commentary on growing up amid chaotic times, finding strength in community, and forging a better future with strength and commitment." —AIPT In a future where a deadly virus kills everyone upon reaching adulthood, teenagers are confined to massive medical facilities—until a mysterious new patient arrives and reveals a shocking secret. SARA is locked up in El Castillo, a fortress for troubled youth ruled with an iron fist by a retired military officer.

Everything changes with the arrival of a mysterious new patient who reveals a shocking secret: the virus isn't killing them; it is giving them telekinetic abilities that the adults are desperately trying to suppress with medication and experimental surgeries. In a race against time, they decide to use their newfound powers to escape. But when the adults find out, they will discover that not only are their lives at stake, but also the fate of the human race. Visionary filmmaker JESÚS ORELLANA (Rosa) storms into comics with a thrilling and fast-paced graphic novel that seamlessly bridges the gap between film and comics! Collects all issues, #1-5.
