Fifteen-year-old Chloe Saunders remains trapped within the Lyle House group home, discovering that her classmates are not troubled teens but genetically modified experiments. After learning she is a necromancer capable of raising the physical dead, Chloe flees alongside a werewolf, a sorcerer, and a witch to escape the Edison Group scientists. As her powers intensify, she struggles to control the ghosts that haunt her while navigating a corporate conspiracy that views her as property. The group seeks refuge with a rogue biological father, hoping to evade capture and understand the modifications performed on their DNA.
