*************************************************************************************************
They are people whose gifts are unique. For years - centuries - they have not properly understood just what they can do with their minds. Some have become astrologers, clairvoyants, or healers, but their Talents are largely undeveloped and untrained.
Henry Darrow was the first to explore the huge wealth of psychic gifts hidden amongst mankind, and it was he who formed the first Parapsychic Centre where Talents can train and be used to revolutionise the world.
But their powers set them apart, make them feared, then threatened by the un-Talented. And when dangerous freak 'wild' Talents begin to wreak havoc in the outside world, it takes all their combined Talented efforts to save themselves.
