After an illegal experiment explodes by a lightning strike in
Sanders, Kansas, a pregnant woman breathes in the lethal mist that
it caused and passes it to her unborn son, causing him to start
rapidly growing immediately. She dies during his birth due to the
size of her son in just a few hours later. The son, named Guy,
survives and starts growing exponentially with heightened strength,
hearing, and the ability to tap into parts of the brain that no one
else can. When a doctor and his wife adopt him, they suddenly
realize his illness and return him to the orphanage, where he is
secretly kept in a locked room and tutored by a professional while
growing up. In just two months time, he has grown to look like an
18 year old teenager. The evil mastermind of the experiment is
wanting to erase any and all evidence linking him to his
experiment, which he does. However, after learning that a boy was
born with the serum inside him, he sends his goons out to find and
kill him, along with anyone who stands in his way. Will Guy ever
have a life free from pursuit? If so, will a cure ever be found to
stop the rapid aging caused by the experiment?
"For the first time in his life, Guy was at the peak of
happiness, surrounded by old and new friends who respected him, as
he did them. Yes, it was a wonderful new beginning..." "Or so he
thought."
It's been nearly three years since Guy has been living a normal
life with his best friends and adoptive siblings, Scott and Cindy.
Suddenly out of nowhere, he has a relapse, becoming contaminated
once again. However, this time his body is somehow producing a much
higher dose of the chemicals than it has ever produced before,
causing him to lose control of not only his abilities, but his
emotions as well. Upon further investigation, with the help of his
sidekick Scott, he learns that the cause of his relapse is due to a
telepathic link to two other men with the same contaminant in their
blood, but much more powerful and stronger than he. The strangers,
who seem to be unstoppable, are wrecking havoc in the state of
Kansas, robbing banks and killing people who just look at them the
wrong way. Guy teams up with the authorities to try and overthrow
the two men who are ten times stronger than he, being ten times
stronger than any ordinary man during his relapse, and that's not
the least of his troubles. After learning of the existence of these
dangerous killers and Guy himself, someone in the military opens
the sealed files of Guy, wanting a piece of the action as well as a
blood sample of any one of these men to find out what makes them
stronger than any other human in body and mind. Since Guy is the
only one powerful enough to stop these mischievous men, he may have
to make the ultimate sacrifice with his life to stop them with any
means necessary. And if he does succeed, he must then escape the
persistence of the military in acquiring the special blood he
possesses. It's brains versus brawn in this adventurous hayride of
a tale.
