James is an ordinary, disillusioned accountant living a mundane life—until the day he discovers a strange box hidden in his mother’s basement. Inside is a glowing ruby, which embeds itself into his eye, unlocking the power of teleportation but leaving him with unbearable pain and a haunting crimson line across his iris. As James grapples with his new abilities, he uncovers a deeper mystery—there are others like him, each marked by a ruby and gifted with unique powers. Determined to find answers and protect those with abilities, James begins building a hidden sanctuary for the “ruby-touched.” But as he navigates growing tension with his estranged brother, Thomas, and his complicated relationship with Mia, James realizes the rubies hold a darker secret.
