This leads him to apply for a scholarship to an elite summer program where he'll work with students like him on the most cutting-edge research. But when his work lands him and two of his friends into the middle of a human corpse trading ring, he'll need to rely on the help of his new friends to discover just how advanced his father's work really was, and save it from those who would use it against them.
