When Cosmonaut Hill, mistreated orphan, attempts to escape from the Clarissa Frayne Institute for Parentally Challenged Boys, he finds himself lying on a rooftop, the pain of a ten-thousand-volt electric shock wracking his body, with a small blue parasite on his chest, sucking the life out of him. At the last minute, however, three gun-toting children knock out the creature and manage to restore him to relative health. Stefan Bashkir, Mona Vasquez and Lucien Bonn are surprised to find that Cosmo can see the blue creatures, as not many people can, and reluctantly agree to let him join ‘The Supernaturalists.’ Before Cosmo knows it, he’s jumping from rooftop to rooftop, blasting parasites and eluding para-legals – but his life is about to take a turn for the worse . . .
