Nathan is back in New York City; the place where it all started, nearly one year later. While he has been away, he has been establishing a base of operations and trying to follow the direction his life has taken - making a difference and answering the call for help where and when he is needed. He has returned to this birthplace of his powers with more questions of why he is on the path he is on and what is expected of him. During a dangerous rescue, his powers dissipate, and leave him critically vulnerable. He connects back with old friends who help him rediscover the man he used to be to in order to help him be the man he has become and the man who he must be. Magical forces come into play, pulling on nature itself, which introduces an unexpected challenge to Nathan while he is at this perilous juncture. The pendulum swings even farther out of alignment; it is up to Nathan to respond before forces are set into motion that cannot be countered.
