It is the year 2080. Life is high-tech and climate change is carefully managed. Many kids are born with super-powers and Dom is a human chameleon.

Dezi must somehow avoid the coastal rangers who protect the fragile marine environment.
When Dezi kidnaps Zoe Walker, youngest niece of the local coastal rangers, Dom has to choose between doing the right thing and protecting his family. Will he cross his terrifying father to save Zoe?
