It wasn't as if Jimmy Erickson didn't have enough going on in his life. Trapped between two worlds, and having to straddle both of them, he tried his best to concentrate on the music and his complicated relationship with Vinnie Santini. Being the drummer in a newly signed metal band and boyfriend to the band's bassist had to come first. Even if it meant keeping the Awakened world at bay for a time.
But when the Chicago Ascendant asks a tiny favor of Jimmy, he suddenly finds himself thrust into the middle of a battle between her and the elusive, enigmatic DJ Dominick and his Electro Army. All electrokinetic Awakened bound to him by hook or by crook and willing to give their lives to see him as the new Ascendant of the city.
When Jimmy and Vinnie discover that a member of the Electro Army is their very own, recently Awakened guitarist, KC Driscoll, they have to figure out a way to stop DJ. Or risk losing KC and the city of Chicago to his madness forever.
