From the horrors of a tragic conception a child is born with a unique gift; the ability to pull pain from one living being and put it into another. The child Zion Cross grows-up on the cold streets of Detroit bouncing from one unstable home to another struggling to protect his half-sister Charity from the harsh realities of his jaded life. While he desperately attempts to escape his checkered past and create a new life for them she is more concerned with saving his soul. Are some past lives so horrible God will not forgive them? Even if the person needing forgiveness...has superpowers?
