"In the near future, a few young women manifest extraordinary abilities called ""Shine""; each girl's ability is different. Some develop extraordinary mental abilities. Some become physically strong. Others have powers that defy description. But the world does not embrace these Shines. It fears them - especially after the destruction of Seattle is blamed on one Shine named Aura. After her horrifying discovery of the underground cellblock where many Shine prisoners-and her mother-were held and experimented on, Aura resolved to escape from the TYL ""rehab""; unaware of the government and scientific conspiracies swirling around her, she developed a plan with the other Shines utilizing their special abilities and, most importantly, teamwork. They blew a hole in the electrified wall surrounding TYL, but soon after they were apprehended by Dr. Coutant and her associates, who appeared to have advance knowledge of the escape attempt. Now she must somehow survive cruel retaliation and successfully find some way off the island - before it's too late. "

"In the near future, a few young women manifest extraordinary abilities called ""Shine."" Each girl's ability is different. Some develop extraordinary mental abilities. Some become physically strong. Others have powers that defy description. But the world does not embrace these Shines. It fears them. Aura and the other Shines escaped from the TYL “rehab” in the aftermath of a titanic explosion that leveled the facility. They holed up in the abandoned basement of an LA library where Mnemo once worked, unaware that Dr. Estes and Reverend Trent were working together to deal with the “Shine infestation.” Aura decided they should infiltrate Trent’s mansion - a decision that led to their capture. Trent told Aura about his plan to “descend” the Shines and use them to breed a new superior race he can control. Somehow, Aura and the other Shines must escape from Trent and combat the powerful forces gathering against them. "
