The Spark That Started It All
Imagine being eight years old with the power to set the world ablaze with just a thought. This is Charlie McGee's reality as she flees through New York City with her desperate father Andy, pursued by shadowy government agents. Their nightmare began twelve years earlier when Andy and his future wife Vicky participated in a seemingly innocent college experiment for quick cash. The study, run by the secretive Department of Scientific Intelligence (nicknamed "the Shop"), involved injecting participants with "Lot Six" - a synthetic compound that unlocked dormant psychic abilities. While most subjects died or went insane, Andy developed mental domination powers and Vicky gained telekinesis. Their daughter Charlie inherited something far more dangerous - pyrokinesis, the ability to create fire with her mind. Now, with Vicky murdered by the Shop and nowhere to turn, father and daughter run for their lives. Andy's mental "pushing" ability causes him excruciating pain, and Charlie's powers grow more volatile with each passing day. Their only hope lies in exposing the government's unethical experiments before they're captured - or worse.
