In a near-future world, detective Eric Rippey—a genius with the supernatural ability to detect superpowered humans—and his solar-energy wielding partner, Jessica Turner, lead a covert team in a battle against Eric's former friend-turned-nemesis, the Dragon Lord, who aims to use their powers to incite global chaos. As time runs out, Eric must navigate personal guilt, societal power struggles, and the values that truly define heroism.

SYNOPSIS:

In a near-future world on the brink of exposing its secret society of superpowered individuals, Eric Rippey stands as both the seeker and the shield. Born with the rare ability to detect enhanced humans, he leverages this talent alongside his genius-level intellect to lead the Blood Hounds—a covert team tracking rogue superhumans while navigating a world becoming increasingly aware and wary of their existence.

Eric's mission turns personal when a series of devastating, superpowered attacks reveal the return of his old friend, Jonathan McGuire, now a formidable adversary known as the Dragon Lord. What was once a bond of brotherhood has transformed into a dangerous game of cat and mouse, as Jonathan—able to metamorphose into a humanoid dragon—leads a faction intent on revealing all superhumans, inciting revolution and chaos.

Meanwhile, Jessica Turner, Eric’s partner and capable scientist with the power to harness solar energy, serves as the moral compass of their operation. As they dive deeper, the Blood Hounds encounter mounting pressures from a public fearful of the growing superhuman exposure and political machinations eager to exploit or suppress them. Eric must juggle these external forces with an internal struggle, as past ghosts challenge his ideals and a world once in the shadows declares itself in the light.

The pulse intensifies as Eric’s team races against a deadly countdown initiated by the Dragon Lord. Battle-scarred but fueled by determination, the Blood Hounds aim to thwart Jonathan's far-reaching plan, set to climax in an orbital battle amidst a satellite array designed to broadcast the existence of superhumans to the world. As Eric confronts Jonathan in a final, heart-wrenching showdown, he must balance the scales of justice, risking everything for redemption and proving that strength comes not from power, but humanity.

With Jessica risking it all to disable a doomsday device built from her own tech, the narrative threads of friendship, betrayal, and self-discovery weave together. As the dust settles, the truth about enhanced beings reshapes society’s very fabric, crafting new avenues for heroism and understanding. Eric’s final promise echoes through the dawn of this new reality: 'We’re not just hunting monsters anymore. We’re showing the world what heroes really look like.'
