Then others show up and Jace manages to eliminate them using skills he didn’t know he had, then grabs the girl and learns her name is Amber Kayle and flees.

Jace takes Amber to his house where he is almost captured but soon disables them and finds it’s his own family his sister Gina admits that Jace is a Phantom, a bioengineered synthetically made person and supersoldier, and his family memories are actually implanted false memories that never happened. Gina admits the project Phantoms was to create supersoldiers who would be sleepers and when asleep activate them to assassinate targets but was shut down. Gina reveals they continued the project and have been selling them as a mercenary service eliminating targets for paying investors in the form of criminals and terrorists. Amber’s family was targeted by Danson Esson a developer who wanted them out of the neighborhood to buy the property cheap and develop it as a large profit. The other Phantoms arrive and Jace and Amber flee and are forced to fight back against the Phantoms who Jace realizes are his schoolmates.

Jace and Amber set a trap and send their pursuers on a false trail while they break into the lab, gain information, and find out to whom to turn. Meanwhile Jace finds out the main Phantom is a school bully named Ronald Travis who goes insane and is sent to kill them, but Jace and Amber meet the former lead scientist Sally Wells who reveals the main reason for shutting down the project what when an electric surge would interfere with the Phantoms and risk them going haywire, which is what has happened to Travis and the projects supervisor and mastermind Samuel Cress is using to control him and sends him out. Jace and Amber escape and soon expose the Phantom project on National TV, and the people behind it, including Jace’s fake family are arrested and so is Esson.
