If you were a dad who had the tech, wouldn’t you make your son a superhero?
____________________________________

To everyone he doesn’t trust, Rich only speaks in numbers. “One” means hello. “Two” means a second hello on the same day. For most, that’s all they ever hear.

Rich only trusts his mom, his once-best friend Ally, the Ono family, and his therapist, Shrink Carrol—though, should he?

Elko, Nevada may be a quiet town, but his father’s laboratory hides in the nearby desert with its ground-breaking nanotech. Could it also hold the secrets to his father’s death murder?

When nefarious military contractors come looking for that technology, they find that only the son, sixteen-year-old Rich can retrieve it. To protect those he loves, Rich must solve the clues his father left or suffer the consequences—elimination of himself and his family and friends.

Can Rich, with the help of Ally and Mai Ono, uncover the code that will save his family and friends?
