Story/Spoilers
In part #1, Bethany, Nathan, Danny, Jack, and Jasmine suddenly find themselves awake in a world completely foreign to their memories. They remember having strange abilities, but nothing like this! What are they? They’re part of the mystery that Tony Murcheson has been assigned to investigate and uncover.

Next in part #2, The mutates escape from Project Next Men only to find themselves on the run in a world completely different from their memories. During a mysterious encounter in the desert, they begin to realize that they were locked in fantasy, and they must come to terms with the real version of reality before their former captors track them down.

Next in part #3, The mutants have been separated for the first time. They’re jailed, hospitalized, or…somewhere else. Jasmine is desperate for news of Jack. But how can she go to him if she’s caged? Maybe her strange new abilities will help.

Next in part #4, The world has its first taste of just how deadly the escapees from Project Next Men can be when a simple rescue becomes a violent blood bath. Meanwhile, Senator Hilltop continues his evil machinations with his shadowy partner.

Next in part #5, The mutates are reunited and begin to learn more about their strange new world. Bethany discovers that the Next Men are not the only survivors of the Project. There are also some mistakes, genetic mutations that want something from their more perfect brothers.

Next in part #6, The Next Men are headed to Washington, D.C., after their encounter with another survivor of Project Next Men. Forces in Washington conspire to make their futures even more complicated. The identity of Tony Murcheson’s contact, the elusive Control is revealed. And then there’s Senator Hilltop, who’s moving up in the world…
