Jody's family was kidnapped and tortured by witch hunters, and after a few days of captivity, he's all that's left. Using his frosty awakened superpowers, he manages to escape—and is rescued from the side of the road by Bren.
Bren, a hot-thermal awakened with government connections, promises to help find the witch hunters who destroyed Jody's life. While navigating his trauma and pain, Jody comes to rely on Bren for more than just food, shelter, and superpowered connections. Brendan is all that reminds Jody what's left to live for, and a strong advocate for justice vs. vengeance, like the proverbial knight in shining armor he is.
As their affection for one another deepens and their attraction becomes impossible to deny, Bren wonders if acting on their feelings would be taking advantage. Jody, meanwhile, struggles to claw his way back to something like normalcy, certain that Bren's part of the solution, not the problem.
But none of it matters if they don't take down those witch hunters.
