Joey Verity is an human-avian hybrid with Minddrinker abilities in the School. His life wasn't that bad. That was before Male Subject Eight escaped. The whitecoats changed. Tests were more frequent and Subjects were separated. One day, the whitecoats offered him a challenge: be the first one out of the testing and leave the School forever. Except leaving was not what he expected.

Now that Max is dead, the new generation of bird kids is losing hope. To solve that, scientists have made new mascots to replace the Flock, and with the power to control them, too. Ava Memory has never left the School before. She and her friend, Ian Kane, were created in the School and had lived there all their lives. That is until Ava leaves.
