The world in not black and white. At least this one isn't. The one about which I hear and in which Nehlio Ehron X thrives, is a nightmare of soul-encompassing blackness that is lit only by brief exciting moments of color. It's this color that drives the 16 year-old into growing into something more than a man. As a new kind of empath N.E.X finds himself in the secret Pittsburgh underworld, attempting to eliminate those vile creatures that are less than human. Nehlio will allow nothing, not even gravity, to prevent him from shining a colorful light in the dark spaces. The pitfall is that while shining that light, it may prove impossible for him to remain in it himself.
