▼▲

Little does Jack McKinley know, but today is the day that he is supposed to die. When Jack collapses in the middle of a busy street, he finds himself transported to a strange hospital in a strange place, where he learns the truth about himself: he is descended from a prince of a long-lost civilization and the genetic trait that he inherited him is making him too strong too fast, thus killing him in the process. It's up to Jack and his friends to locate and retrieve 7 missing Loculi, which were stolen and hidden around the world. They must find these magic Loculi before they fall in into the wrong hands, or the kids will never be cured. . .
