Shayne Barlet has been kidnapped, his powers disabled and his memory altered. He's having a bad day...and he doesn't even know it. Shayne believes he's living the ideal life. He attends a great school in the Midwest, gets along with his roommate, and has even met a girl who seems perfect for him. But it's all a lie. His girlfriend is deceiving him, his roommate is in on it, and perhaps most unbelievably of all: he's not from Earth. He's not even human...and neither are they. As he discovers his own buried psychic abilities, Shayne realizes the only truth he's been told is perhaps the most improbable one: his girlfriend, a member of the invasion force, seems to truly love him, even though her actions are rife with deceit. Shayne soon uncovers a vast conspiracy involving planetary conquest, erased memories, holographic worlds, and dark agendas. He vows to expose the truth, set his people free, and stop The Overtaking...once, and for all.
