Bryan had a gift. He had been blessed with unusual strength and speed, and he was prepared to use both to protect the students in his school that were being bullied. His willingness to stand up for those that could not stand up for themselves led him on to the mean streets, and soon he found himself at war with a vicious street gang. And then he met Samantha. Now the stakes were higher. Will there ever be an end to bullies and gang members? Will Bryan have to fight for the rest of his life? Can he always protect Samantha from the cowards that would do her harm? Can there be courage without fear? If Bryan is not afraid, then is he a hero or just a young man with a gift and a willingness to use it?
