Jack thinks his story is over when he turns himself in to the authorities for scientific research. He never wanted supernatural powers and wants to be rid of them as soon as he can.

Once he finally gains her trust, his whole world changes. He’s forced to rethink his hatred and distrust of the one who gave him his powers, as well as his hope for a calm and peaceful life.
