When 13-year-old Martin Anderson arrives at The Edgeview Alternative School, it's the end of the road. Literally. He's been expelled from every other school. Edgeview is the last stop. A warehouse for the system's rejects.

Martin fits right in.

Everyone has given up on Martin. Even Martin. But at Edgeview Martin falls in with a group of five misfits who make the other Edgeview rejects appear gifted by comparison. He makes a remarkable discovery: each of his friends possesses a remarkable talent. One is telekentic. Another is empathic. Others have psychic abilities. Martin thinks these talents makes them special. They think it makes them freaks.

Martin has one shot to convince them otherwise.
