Living with his single mom and searching for his missing, drug-addicted brother, young Heath barely gets by in this hard city. Throw in some gang-related troubles and a misunderstanding at school, and he quickly finds himself at the end of his rope. Heath doesn't know, though, that he's being watched by Galactic, one of the most powerful groups in the universe. These interplanetary crusaders see something in the young teen that even he himself doesn't notice --the potential for heroism.
