In a near-future society, certain individuals possess extraordinary psychic abilities, making them capable of controlling minds and inflicting harm telepathically. These individuals are known as "scanners." As scanners live isolated and misunderstood lives, Darryl Revok, the most powerful and dangerous of them all, has launched a campaign to rally scanners against the norms of society. His goal is to create an army that can dominate and rule over non-scanners, viewing their gifts as a right to supremacy.

Cameron Vale, another scanner discovered living destitute and unaware of his full capabilities, is recruited by a secretive organization with a different agenda. Dr. Paul Ruth, a scientist working for the organization, sees Vale's potential as a weapon to stop Revok's menacing plan. Vale is thrust into a covert war that pits scanner against scanner, with society's very fabric at stake. As he delves deeper into the hidden world of scanners, Vale unravels the disturbing truths about his own origins and the nature of his powers. Now, on a quest that's as much about self-discovery as it is about survival, Vale must confront Revok in a conflict that will define the future of scanners and humanity alike.
