Cam has a secret. He can create fire. He's also terrified that he accidentally started the fire which burned down his house and killed his parents. So when he is contacted by Project Phoenix, a small semi-secret government group set up to study and train children with unexplained powers, Cam agrees, reluctantly, to let them train him so he doesn't harm anyone else ever again. He doesn't expect to find friends in the irrepressible telekinetic Mike, or Perri, a young clairvoyant. And he certainly doesn't expect to be racing to prevent a terrible accident foreseen by Perri, an accident which will test his control and his fear. But Cam, Mike and Perri aren't the only children with powers. Someone within Project Phoenix is keeping secrets - secrets which could cost Cam and his friends their freedom and have a devastating effect on the whole country...
