Maura Riley is a single mother in an abusive relationship. A chance encounter with an unimaginably powerful being gives her the power to fight back; but at a terrible cost. She finds herself joining forces with shadowy government factions, strange alien creatures, and a new race of human beings known as Excels that are suddenly springing up in the wake of Earth's first encounter with superheroes. Thrust into the role of protector, Maura finds her world turned upside down as she struggles to protect those she loves, and still maintain a grip on her sanity. Is her new found power a blessing or a curse? Can she trust her new alien allies any more than she can the shadowy figures that are determined to discover the secrets behind the power she possesses?
