London. The year 2000. One in a million people are born with a power, known as Talents. They are forced by a hostile Government to place themselves under a regime of control called The Authority.

Red Line is the chief enforcer of the Authority. Besides fighting crime with his fists, a task he performs with cruel relish, his job is to root out the Unregistered.  

People like Susan, an idealistic young woman who uses her Talent to fight injustice, in memory of a lost parent, in defiance of the law. 

But Susan is the least of Red Line’s problems. Someone is killing the Talented, one at a time. And the clock is ticking, although Red Line does not know who is next, nor when the killers will strike. Red Line and Susan must work together to find and stop the murderers before they kill again, and again, and again.
