17-year-old Carrie has messed-up royally. So badly that she and her family have to leave in the dead of night to wherever they are assigned. What did she do that was so unforgiving? She flew into the yard when a neighbor sat smoking a cigarette on her porch next door. Did she see Carrie fly? Impossible to tell, but when you are a family of “Specials” – Super Heroes if you may – you can’t afford to take chances. Now Carrie’s almost 16-year-old sister, Cher is in for the shock of her lifetime. At 16 you learn you are Special, but in this case, her parents have no choice but to try to make it make sense now. As Cher recovers from the shock, Carrie rushes out to meet her boyfriend, Owen, and best friend, Jolene. She can’t tell them why her family is leaving, but it’s clear she will never see them again. Three Specials about Carrie’s age appear from different parts of the world to help ease the heartache and encourage her to embrace her powers. When the “Supervisor” visits the family, Carrie and Cher are given 15 seconds to decide if they want to live a life of a Special or give up their powers forever.
